Youth caroling drives unity week plans in local churches
Carollers may be invited to pastors of area churches or to Bob Parks at WI 3-4394. Mr. Shaw hopes the caroling program will foster a spiritual climate for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity January 18 to 25. Churches consider Open House January 24, joint prayer, and a joint Bible study by participating ministers. Plans stem from youth led effort, separate from Christmas caroling.
