N.C. minister designs special church bulletin, p. 15
Description
"GREENSBORO, N.C. - Nearly two million United Methodists across the nation were expected to use a specially designed church bulletin for Independence Day worship services, featuring story material and a picture proposed by the Rev. Joseph W. Lasley of Greensboro.
Rev. Lasley, chairman for the Commission on Archives and History for the Western North Carolina United Methodist Conference, is pastor of the Tabernacle United Methodist Church here.
Two years ago the national United Methodist Commission on Archives and History was assigned the bulletin for July 3, 1977. Dr. John Ness, executive secretary for commission, asked Rev Lasley to do the job which was sent to the printer April 1, 1975.
“I writing the copy. I tried to think ahead of the Bicentennial year, to come up with something appropiate [sic] for Bicentennial plus one’.” Rev. Lasley said “I decided that since it was a church bulletin, it should be more then [sic] merely a Fourth of July patriotic piece.”
Also, he “suggested that the statue of Asbury (Bishop Francis Asbury) in Washington would be an appropriate picture for the front page. “The editor of the United Methodist Weekly Church Bulletin Service, Mrs. Lloyd D. Daugherly of Nashville, as signed the picture to Mike Sloan, an artist, who did a montague featuring the statue and including several other historic Methodist scenes.”"
