parking. There are a few trees,
shrubs and flowers around the
building.
This building was formally
opened on May 31, 1948 with
three sei*vices and basket lunch
at which time Fred W. Chunn
gave the three sermons.
This initial service drew an
unusually large attendance
from surrounding communities
and a complimentary attend-
ance by the citizens of the At-
wood township, larger than the
seating capacity would accom-
modate.
Atwood is about midway be-
tween Midland and Trezevant on
highways 70-79, a flourishing
township in an excellent farm-
ing section, with high-standard
schools.
Early Preachers
Among the first preachers to
work with the Atwood church
were Fred W. Chunn, B. C.
Larkin, Paul Ayers, Gardner
Gately, and some others.
Through the interest and help
of these brethren, personal vis-
its and correspondence, a num-
ber of brethren and congrega-
tions over the area gave much-
needed fellowship in the build-
ing of the house of worship for
which the Atwood brethren will
always be deeply grateful.
As a rule, regular Bible study
and worship services are con-
ducted every Sunday morning,
and preaching monthly or more
often when possible.
It is possible that they have a
full-time minister now, one who
m'ay live in the community or
who may meet the require-
ments by commuting from
some other point.
Local Banavolanca
The Atwood church does local
charity and welfare work
among the needy, visiting the
aged and shut-ins, supplying
clothing and food where need-
ed, and flowers for the sick.
They also contribute to some
mission areas.
Some have expressed the
hope that they may reach into
all the nearby communities
with the gosj>el and bring oth-
ers into the fellowship of
Christ.
Brethren touring through At-
wood, north or south, will find
a warm welcome with the
church there.

MEMPHIS — The vision of a
church in Atwood existed in the
minds of some few brethren
living in the area for some
time before any visible signs
•appeared to those outside that
small group in the community.
However, as a result of many
group conferences and consid-
erable planning taking into ac- ,
count every noticeable indica-
tion of interest and possible fin-
ancial resources, it was finally
decided that a lot be purchased
in the heart of this small town-
ship, on the main highway, and
erect a building as quickly as
at all possible.
Faith and Zeal
Faith, zeal and energy with
wise and workable plans
brought into existence in early
1948 a modest brick building
testifying to the vision of the
Atwood brethren. This building
with opera chairs will accom-
modate an audience of 200 to
250. Classrooms are equipped
with suitable tables, chairs and
other facilities for a favorable
attendance.
The lot provides off-street
