The Administrative Board met at Mrs. Bryant’s for breakfast. Dr. Henderson was the chair of the board.
Sitting around the table at Mrs. Bryant’s were counter checks. This was during the building of our
current sanctuary. It was a struggle every time to make the payment that was due. At the meeting, Dr.
Henderson would lead us and tell us just how short they were for the upcoming payment. Then we
would take the counter checks and “pass the hat.” Someone would count the amount collected and
then tell us how much they were still short. The counter checks were brought back out, and we
repeated the process until they felt like they had enough to make the payment.
