THE education department of the Potomac Conference cele- brated the Bicentennial with a massive weekend fair on May 1 and 2, 1976. The attendance re- sembled camp meeting, with the police estimating that up to 4,000 people were at the festivities. Titled "The First Two Hun- dred," the two-day program began with a Saturday night musi- cal festival in the gym, coordinated by Clarence Dunbebin, Sligo Elemen- tary School principal. It featured the Beltsville, Sligo, and J. N. Andrews school choirs with an all patriotic program, and ended with a massed choir of all the par- ticipating schools and a parade of the flags of all 50 States, led by a costumed "Uncle Sam." The Sunday program began at 10 a.m. and ran continuously until 6:30 p.m. The full day was a smorgasbord of events running simultaneously. The fair utilized the facilities of Sligo Elementary School, the Takoma Academy gym next door and the adjacent ball field. Twenty of Potomac's 27 ele- mentary schools participated. Fairgoers chose the activities they wanted to see and circulated be- tween science and art exhibits, the attractive Bicentennial booths, the outdoor field and track events, and the spelling bee in the Takoma Academy gym, directed Wayne Foster presents first-place ribbon to Keri Peterson, semifinalist winner for grade 2 in the spelling bee. The winners were Davy Mayers for grades 1 and 2; Cherie Good for grades 3 and 4; by Selma Bird. and Glenda Umali and Alvin Rhoda, who tied for grades 5 through 8.

On July 28, 1970, the members pledged several thousand dollars to purchase land on which to build. A site costing $9,000 was selected on Highway 211 east of Luray and purchased with a down payment made on August 1, 1970. The company was officially organized as a church the following month, on Sabbath, September 12, 1970, with a charter membership of 49. Two committees were appointed: a building committee, chaired by

Within two months after the organization on Novem- ber 2, 1970, the building site was fully paid for.

458 had been raised. But infla- tion set in, and there were delays in getting material and supplies. The cost was skyrocketing. As the fund-raising continued, the members engaged William Shewell, an associate of Ronald S. Senseman Architects, of Silver Spring, Maryland, to help with plans and furnishings. Finally authorization to proceed with con- struction was given May 27, 1973, and the groundbreaking cere- mony was held July 22, 1973. Robert Clements, church builder for the conference, was employed as contractor. The church was completed about a year later, with opening services held September 7, 1974. A debt of $35,000 remained. From July, 1970, to December, 1975, $215,275 had been raised by the dedicated, sacrificing membership and generous friends around the country. Included in this was $8,500 given for the Allen Organ. The last $12,500 to liqui- date the $35,000 debt was given in just ten weeks. In addition to the dollar cost, much labor had been donated. W. B. Quigley, president of the Columbia Union Conference, preached at the dedication of the church. Leading in the Act of Dedication were Kenneth J. Mittleider, conference president, and Kermit I. Foss, pastor. The note-burning was performed by E. M. Hagele, conference treas- urer, and Henry McNeil and Cecil Deavers, members. The Luray congregation dedi- cated its church to God as a light- house to serve their community in love.

Located on a beautiful 88-acre farm near Oxford, Pennsylvania, Lifespring is easily accessible from Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore and Washing- ton, D.C., which lie in a semi-circle around it. After three years of experimenting with weekend spiritual retreats led by several ministers, including James Londis, William Jackson, and Clarence Schilt, the coordinator of the program, Helen Andrew, began to pray for a place which could become a full-time Adventist center.

Specific improvements over the past three years include an Olympic swimming pool, an all-purpose meeting and recreational building, a director's cabin, a herd of 20 horses and ponies, an athletic field, new in- board ski boat, and an additional 60 acres, connecting the camp property to that of a beautiful state reservoir. The camp motto is in Its Truest Form Can Be Fun and Exciting. Young people accept this approach to life, which is in evidence by approximately 150 decisions for Christ and/or baptisms each year. As an additional phase of the program, this summer the dedicated camp staff will be working in an outreach program to build up the company of 25-40 people currently meeting each week at the camp for church services. This will include Bible studies, Five-Day Plan, cooking school, Story Hour, and day camp, and will culminate with evangelistic meetings being conducted by the staff. The Laurel Lake Camp program is a soul-winning endeavor and every young person in Pennsylvania interested in should have the privilege of attending camp this summer.
