Hubert (Clark} and I have so many happy memories of PPUMC during the 7Os and Zachary and Marjorie Henderson …. Charter Members of PPUMC.
Marjorie and Rosemarie were members of the Senior Women’s UMW …. where we shared a love for music ministry … We often visited the local Nightingale nursing home (over near Statesboro High School) to share the love of Jesus with residents. Marjorie played an accordion (expertly). I played an
Autoharp (still have my autoharp—not very expert anymore) … We walked up and down the halls of the nursing home … playing, singing .. .teaching joyful scripture songs …. Ex … “This Is the Day” …. “This Is My Commandment” … “! Will Enter His Gates with Thanksgiving in My Heart” …. we also taught scripture songs throughout the church …. UMW and Sunday School classes.
Note: At the time, Dr. Zachary Henderson was recently retired PRESIDENT OF GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY …… The university library is the Zachary Henderson Library. (I have served on the Henderson Library Advisory Council since my retirement from GS in 2008).
The history of Pittman Park United Methodist Church is intimately connected with the history of Georgia Southern University.
