Memories From 20 Years Ago

Ralston Baptist Church marked its centennial year on November 9, 1997. This week, twenty years hence, seemed an appropriate time to present some visual remembrances from two decades ago.

Mary and Ray Moffeit at the
 Centennial Celebration. Ray
 pastored during the 
centennial  year.











How shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
"How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!"
Romans 10: 14-15

Rick Rice and John Crowley, pastored the church from
1974-1979. He continues pastoring today near Miami, OK.
Charles Welch, interim pastor in 1984, 1986, 1988,
 visited with Geraldine Forbes. Bro. Charles died in
2008.
Joe Urbon, oldest pastor in attendance, visited with
Pam Morris Felix. He came as pastor in 1960. He 

died in 2009.
Gregg, Krystal, Whitney, Kallie, and Torie at his
ordination when he pastored at Ralston FBC.
20 years ago at the Centennial, he touched hearts
as he sang, "Precious Memories" and the girls
sang, "Come Just As You Are."
Ralston FBC was Larry Wilson's first pastorate
 in 1986. He and Debbie enjoyed reuniting with
friends at the 100th anniversary in 1997.
              Those who are wise shall shine 
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.
Daniel 12:3
