There was a post recently about the Claybank Association and I wondered if anyone knew anything about the Sardis Association. I know they still exist today but got no response when I tried to write. I admit I couldn't find an address and used the address of Pilgrim Rest Church so it may not have gotten there. Their headquarters are supposed to be in Samson. In the organizational meeting for Pilgrims Rest Church minutes, it states that J D Fleming was there as a Deacon or Sardis Association. I believe this was in the early 1890s or late 1880s. Since he is my gr-grandfather, I'm interested in the Association and what other churches might have belonged to it. I have no idea what church he attended. He lived in the area near Kinston - at various times in Geneva, Coffee and Covington Counties. I would like very much to learn more about him. If anyone knows anything about this association or where I can find out more information, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in ! advance. Peg
