St'i
It's clean now The umbrella stand is
empty, the hat rack is bare. His old Web
press has been retired But Grandpa's pre-
sence lingers on.
For over fifty years ho printed the
Mayfield Progress, reporting the news with
integrity There were times when he was
threatened, cajoled by attempted bribery,
menaced by pressure groups, but he
stayed true to principle. He was a giant in
our town.
What made Grandpa strong in the face
of danger — incorrupt when confronted by
unscrupulous forces?
His church was the center and cir-
cumference of his being. Its truths and its
goodness sustained him. It was all that he
needed—he remained steadfast and sure.
Your church is eager to help you meet
the pressures of your day . Its resources are
unlimited and eternal. Go to your church or
synagogue and take your family with you.

What do a telephone, a
direct mail campaign and
personal contact have in
common with church growth?
They are the tools utilized by
three United Methodist con-
gregations in Texas which have
striking success stories to tell
about increasing attendance
and membership.
"The telephone is our
primary contact in a busy city"
reports the Rev. Will Reed,
Minister of Evangelism for
Memorial Drive United Meth-
odist Church in Houston. "We

along. We have seven adult

two a year!’ The Sunday
School averages between
250-275.
In the Houston church, Mr.
Reed says “People get lost in a
big church if there isn’t
intention to assimilate them.
Each adult class in our church
school as well as all the other
organizations within the
church have a contact person
who receives the names of the
new members from the
Evangelism Work Area. The
contact person then reports
back to the church office of the
response from the new
members. The response is
recorded so we can keep up
with each new person!’
Church growth not only
marks these three churches but
seems to be a concept that is
catching — on across United
Methodism, according to a
church executive. “People
have begun to talk about the
church growing!’ says the Rev.
Ed Otwell, director of church
growth and development for
the Central Texas Annual
Conference. “For a long time
no one said much about it, but
now the attitude of lay leaders
and pastors has changed. We
are playing it up. "In this
conference we are on our way!’
he adds. “Before the quadren-
nium (1981-84) is over, we will
have turned the tide of
decreasing church membership
into a gain.
