We have a lot of these and similar photos in our growing network collection over at COG connection. Check them out!

Thanks for sharing those, onelove. They are beautiful.

Perhaps the title of this thread needs to be changed since it has broadened into "Old Church Oriented Photos"


Heres a somewhat blurry snapshot of a portion of the Music Program in the Assembly in 1959. I do not know who ANY of the people are:






And Assembly photos like Pauls:

DD and Aldora Creasy (Mamaw sometimes seemed to photograph mean.)

[Gerald Creasy]

Linda's current Pastor Bob Creasy and an unknown young man:





My Dad Don (sheesh! you can tell HE was a joker), Bob, Aldora and DD in Old Hickory Church around the mid fifties:

[Gerald Creasy]

I don't know WHO these people are but, by golly! they're ready for a march!!!! (possibly someone associated with my other grandmother Alma Bodner or her sister Beulah Miracle)





And a tribute pic for the recently departed:

Jerry Goins Baptising Unknown lady in the Madison Church circa 1970:

Some of my Grandma's stuff.







The inside area features a photo fold out of over 16 photos describing various Church scenes.

Am I the only one that likes this thread?

Surely some of you have some Assembly or Church historical photos?

Is this the same DD Creasy that pastored (I think) at the Union Grove church many, many years ago??? I seem to remember the name as a past pastor...

YES

WOW! Awesome I need to save this...who knows when we might need to do something about past pastors... This is where I attend church... I have been cleaning out "stuff" at home...and found an old Cleveland newspaper... it has all kinds of Assembly stuff in it... I don't remember the year...

I love old pictures.

[Dr. Ron]

I have photos and videos of GAs from the 30s and 40s. I have AJT's funeral procession on video. I will get Wendy to post it .....I wouldn't have a clue how to do that. I am still technically challenged.

[VolPastor]

Excellent pictures.

I am currently in the process of building a database of historical pictures to put on the Heritage Ministries portion of the COGOP website, fieldsofthewood.net site (which is in the early stage of development) and the Heritage Ministries Facebook site.

The video's mentioned would be great.

If you are interested in sharing, please email me at pholt@cogop.org.

The COG Connections is great.

Just a couple inputs here.

From the year that Jerry Goins was baptising that lady..it looks like he must of came to Michigan right after that.
I remember it being said he was from TN. First he was at Romulus church where the church flourished. Then he came to the Royal Oak church where I go now.
I believe in 1975 he had left pastoring and went into evangelising.
He was holding a revival at another COGOP when my Mom passed and my brother who she prayed for, for years came to the Lord in that revival. He is still serving the Lord. (Bill Ellis)

Also, I'd like to mention that these pictures and happenings of the past should be in archives.
We were a part of the past and the young people that are coming up today don't know anything of our heritage.
This would be a good way to let them know of the Church's history.
I know from experience that the youth think the COGOP where they attend is it. They don't know we are world wide unless they are told.
