New Baptist Church Begins Worship in Laguna Heights
The Laguna Heights Baptist Church held its first worship services at a temporary location two miles west of Port Isabel on Highway 100. Rev Bud Means of Harlingen led the morning and evening messages as the group conducted full services under the Southern Baptist program. Sunday School and Training Union preceded services with a planned organizational service soon and possible admission petitions to regional and national Baptist bodies. The church meets in a restaurant building across from Picknicker Grocery and plans a permanent home, with weekly schedule and midweek prayer meetings. Laguna Heights Mayor Bud Harris supported the effort as a community faith opening. The statement noted no competition, inviting all to worship. Also noted were local moves: Francis Kershaw and son Rodney attended a Galveston graduation. Duane Simpson returned from Austin where he studies at the University of Texas.
