Student Assistance

In August 1975 a letter from Rev. Alvin Robertson was read regarding a $5000 Memorial Fund to the memory of his brother. Deacon John W. Robertson. This money was to be put in a trust fund with the interest only to be used. It was suggested that one of the first calls upon this fund should be to help our young people to prepare themselves for Christian service.

Later in 1982 the Deacons evaluated our use of this fund and it will still be used primarily for Christian education purposes. particularly for young people interested in attending Acadia Divinity College or Atlantic Baptist College. although not exclusively. The amount of $500 is now available per year to a student who applies for it. If more that one student applies. the sum 01‘8900 per year is to be divided evenly.

Application for money from this fund is to be made in writing to the Deacons by July [st of each year.

Also the sum of $100 is made available for one or more youth who wish to attend youth conventions.

At the Laymen‘s Sunday Service October 16. 1977. the music was provided by a Male Choir in the church at Kingsboro. Leith Robertson offered prayer. Arthur Bruce read the scripture. and Robert (Bobby) MacGregor delivered the message.

Church Yard Paved

In July 1977 the sum of $1000 was donated to the East Point United Baptist Church at Kingsboro from the estate of the late Jennie Stewart. This money was to be used to start a fund for the paving of the church yard which was completed in 1978. the cost of which was taken care of mostly by donations from the members.
