Bonnie, I have attached two pictures. One of them is the picture of the lady with her Sunday School class and the other is what I think are three of the children in the class picture sometime later. Tell me what you think. If the pictures don't come in well enough then I can make them scan clearer, but it will take longer to download.

I was in a Pentecostal church for 30 years. I have been to the Assembly of God many time and it is very near the same beliefs but a liitle different in some areas. I don't know what the Nazarene churches taught in those days but as I know them today they are not the teachings of a Pentecostal Church. They may have some of the same beliefs but I really am not knowledgeable on them. Just throwing this out there in case it helps in any way.

I live in Thayer, MO and the new Assembly of God Church is located on US Hwy. 63 South . There are several penticostal churches in the area. Shiloh Church, Midway Pentecostal Church, Church of God that I can think of right off hand. The person you are referring to never pastored the Assembly of God Church here in Thayer, as I checked.. The old rock building which housed the Assembly of God Church was sold when the new church was built. There is a music theater in the building at present. What everyone here calls the old rock church (which I think you are referring to) is a small building on the old highway 63, which is also Hwy 142 is used by different ministers, and recently one perticular minister has been holding services there and they are penticostal. The church does not have a name as yet because it is a newly established one. Hope this tid-bit helps.

I believe that the building is still standing. Maybe still having church, who knows? It was a rock building, single room and not too large. It is located, I think, on old 63, going north the outskirts of Thayer. It's been several years since we went into Thayer on that road.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CMB.2ACE/602.2 Message Board Post: Heard back from my mom.. when I asked her if there was a Pentacostal Church in Thayer, she wrote: "Yep!  Been there when I was a kid.  Aunt Cora Lewis and Uncle John were pastors. Some of their daughters were there, I think.  I remember hearing the girls sing." Now, I was under the impression that John and Cora LEWIS [my mom's uncle and aunt] were ASSEMBLY OF GOD ministers. So, maybe they use the term "Pentacostal" as being a generic description rather than an denomination, this time. I have asked Mom if the church was IN Thayer and what the name of it was... will get back to you when she answers. Hope this helps, Lanita

My great Uncle James Shurron was a Pentacostal minister in Thayer. I don't know much about him, but I think he died in the 1950s and is buried somewhere in Oregon CO. He didn't have any children who survived.

My grandparents were staunch Freewill Bapt and went to Nebo Pent. Church when there was a revival or series of meetings. Lots of tent meetings in the area during that time, and I personally went to several as a small child... I have contacted my mother.. will get back to you as soon as I hear from her.
