The opening service Sunday will be held starting 11 o'clock in the morning. This will be followed by a banquet at noon. Services will also be held Sunday afternoon and evening. PRAYER SERVICE Members of the Obert Baptist church went to the Logan View Church east of Coleridge and north of Laurel Monday and held a prayer service in the church which will soon become the new Obert Baptist Church. Monday and Tuesday the church building was moved from its former location into Obert. Unforeseen obstacles prevented the church being completed and ready for dedication this weekend. However, as soon as the new building is completed in every detail, a special dedication service will be held. A complete story of the anniversary event and a history of the church will be published in the news next week.
