Historical Pictures of COGOP/COG

That's cool. On page 4 of the thread there is a pic from IYC 1972. My Grandpa Howard Thomas was on the front row, third from the left.

Cool.

Thanks to whoever posted those pictures. Many brought me to tears. For me personally, it was more than a stroll down memory lane. I was reminded of the sacrafice of those dear saints. My grandparents used to sing a song, "Working The Road." That is what they did for me, the end of the song being, "to make it easy for those behind."

AMEN & AMEN!!!!!


I do NOT look @ these pics and desire to "return to the old days". I've been out of COGOP for way tooooooooooooooo long now to look back.


But, I do know that those dear saints paved the way for me to be raised in a Christian home and made my way easier.

Glad you all enjoyed them!! They have been collecting for a while now. As I said for the most part it was James Staggs Grandson posting them. He has a lot of pictures that were taken.

One Love,
They are wonderful pictures, great memories, maybe to some they don't mean as much but to us that were raised in the COGOP it is great to see the older saints, it is like a divorce couple even tho the marraige ended years down the road it is good to look at old pictures and remember there were good times, just like these pictures regardless of what has happened in the past 10 to 15 years back in the 50 60 these people knew how to worship God. I respect them and when i say them i am talking about my, Grandparents, my mother, my father sister, Aunts, uncles cousins so to me i appreciate all the pictures it was a great time in our life.... and in noway would i make fun of how they decided to praise God...............We all have gone in many many different directions but it is nice to be able to look back at the good times thanks again for sharing.

Those "do's" make my scalp hurt just looking at them!
