The Delmar Baptist Church has just closed an extensive summer program for 88 neighborhood children ranging in ages from 5 to 12 years old.
The program, which was directed by the Rev. James Dismuke, ranged from pre-school classes in the well-quipped pre-school room to camping outings for the older children. Once a week the church arranged for a bus to pick the older youngsters up and take them swimming. Helping with the classes were volunteers from the church congregation and teenagers.
Many of the mothers expressed their gratitude for the church’s interest in the neighborhood and the wide variety of activities available to the children.
