Francisco Community Starts Work On $10,000 Presbyterian Church
In Francisco, a group of 30 to 35 citizens began ground breaking for a new brick veneered Presbyterian church planned to cost $10,000. With $1,500 in cash and local labor and materials, the auditorium will be 30 by 50 feet, and the Sunday school area 20 by 50 feet with five rooms. The Lee Francis family donated the lot. The project replaces the old Dan River Church, abandoned as families moved nearby to the Francisco School and post office on Highway 89. The Home Mission Committee of the Winston-Salem Presbytery approved the project, with Rev Louis Yelanjian serving as pastor and using the manse for services in the interim. The congregation hopes to complete rough work before planting time and begin services once the top is on.
