‘Arise My Love’

by Sharon Anderson

Dailey Street Baptist Church presented a moving Easter play entitled “Arise My Love” for two performances to large crowds.
Pastor Tim Smith welcomed everyone for both performances and introduced his wife, Kristy, who was this year’s director. The church worked as a whole to put on the play with many working long hard hours on sets and costumes as well as taking part in the play itself, with several doing multiple parts.
Skyler Clark gave a moving performance as Jesus which included walking on water, entering on a donkey, the Lord’s Supper, Jesus’ prayer and arrest in the garden, his trial, crucifixion and resurrection and finally entering heaven to be sent back by his Father. The audience was moved to tears during the realistic crucifixion scene and cheered at the end when Jesus announced his return from heaven.
Kristy Smith, Cathy Posey and Trieste Wayman performed several songs and the Youth Drama Team “Forgiven” which includes Kristy Smith, Candace Gilmore, Andrew and Laura Posey, Tyler and Angela Lucas, Tiffany Murner, Aaron and Timothy Jones and Melinda Nicholson performed at the beginning and end of the play and did a great job!
The children of the church including Kalum, Logan and Brianna Smith; Pamela Anderson; Jonathan, Thomas and Mason Wayman; Madison Brown; Audrey Raulerson; Ansley Stephens; Alexis Jenkins; Andrew, AJ, Kaelee, and Scottie Poore; James and Brittany Hughes welcomed Jesus with the song “Sing Hosanna”.
Other members of the cast included: Michael Anderson, Gene Hughes, H.S. Law, Buster Parker, David Law, John and Ann Meeks, James and Cindy Bishop, Amanda Clark, Bobby and Arlene Minter, Marie Hooper, Johnny and Misty Chastain, Vernon and Debbie Ray, Rita Jo Parker, Treva Hanvey, Cathy Posey, Angela Poore, Carl Autwell, Dennis and Joan Haney, Faye Poore, Sandra Kelly, and Patricia Mason.

Dailey Street BC has presented an Easter play for several years now and with God’s help they hope to continue this ministry for many years to come.

April 2010

The Dailey Street Baptist Church children and youth participated in the annual Church Bible Drill on Sunday. Brother Wendell Dutton, Cherokee Baptist Association Director of Missions was the guest caller. The drillers were questioned on Bible scripture, books of the Bible as well as key passages and doctrinal verses. All the children did a great job!

After the drill Pastor Tim Smith presented each participant with a special gift and he and Brother Wendell gave each a medal from the church.

Those who will continue to the Associational Bible Drill which will be held at Dailey Street BC on April 11th are: Andrew & Laura Posey; Pamela Anderson; Kalum & Logan Smith; Angela Lucas; Jonathan Wayman; and Ansley Stephens. Alexis Jenkins also participated and did a great job but was too young to advance. Drill leaders are: Cathy Posey, Kristy Smith, Ann Meeks, and Sharon Anderson. Judges were: David Law, Skyler Clark, H.S. Law, and Treva Hanvey. Amada Clark was the timekeeper.

Acteen Girls at Dailey Street

by Sharon Anderson

As usual, we have been busy here at Dailey Street Baptist Church. We have many ongoing activities and events as well as special, seasonal happenings to begin the year. Here are just a few of the events that have happened lately.

The Acteen girls helped the Pastor with a special Valentine’s Day Candlelight Memorial service during evening worship on Sunday. Brother Tim Smith welcomed everyone and opened in prayer, read some scripture and lit the trinity candles. He then turned the service over to Cathy Posey, Acteen leader. She read scripture from Ecclesiastes then introduced the girls; Laura Posey, Pamela Anderson, Angela Lucas, Tiffany Murner and Ansley Stephens who each read different scriptures. The girls then went to each pew and escorted members to the memorial table to light a candle and say a few words about their loved ones. Pastor Tim was the first and remembered his beloved grandmother by telling how she had been such a blessing to him. He was followed by many others paying tribute to those who have gone on to be with the Lord. Some gave honor to those who are still with us and have been a blessing also. Michael Anderson and Kristy Smith sang specials and the evening closed with the song “I Will Find You.”

Our Youth and Drama Team have been really busy learning new songs and dramas, hosting Youth Sunday and Youth Wednesday services, a Spaghetti Supper, and delivering Valentines to members on Sunday morning. Brother Jonathan Brooks was the speaker for both Youth services. The Drama Team will perform two dramas in the upcoming Easter play which will be on March 27 and 28 this year.

The Youth are a blessing to the church and include: Leaders; Skyler and Amanda Clark and Kristy Smith; Laura and Andrew Posey; Candace Gilmore; Tyler and Angela Lucas; Aaron and Timothy Jones; Tiffany Murner; and Melinda Nicholson.

Our recent Praise Night was hosted by David Law and included performances by the Drama Team, Skyler Clark, Jonathan and Amanda Brooks, Brianna, Logan, and Kalum Smith, Candice Gilmore, Dot Ray, Ansley Stephens, Angela Lucas and the Primary Discipleship Training Class. Also singing were Bobby and Arlene Minter. This was Bobby’s debut and he as well as everyone else did a fantastic job. After services everyone stayed for a time of food and fellowship. Praise Night is held during evening services each fifth Sunday.

The Children’s department participates in Children’s Ministry Day each year and has chosen to work with the Buildings and Grounds Committee on their church-wide workdays. This Thursday they joined committee members H.S. Law, Dewey Morgan, Buster Parker, John Meeks and Skyler Clark by doing some of the little jobs around the church. While the men handled the big jobs, the children vacuumed song book holders, organized supplies, returned items to classrooms and any other job appointed to them. It was a great way to let them know what it takes to make the church look the best it possibly can and how to keep it that way. The Children’s Committee Chairman is Linda Morgan who brought treats for the crew. Also present were: Rita Jo Parker, Ann Meeks, Cathy Posey, Kristy Smith, Sharon Anderson, Arlene Minter and children: Pamela Anderson, Tyler and Angela Lucas, Ansley Stephens, Alexis Jenkins, Kalum, Logan, and Brianna Smith, Laura and Andrew Posey, Tiffany Murner, Aaron and Timothy Jones and Dalton Amos.
