An evening of storytelling by Edgar Moyo will be held at 7:00 p.m. Monday, July 26, in the chapel of Messiah Village, 100 Mount Allen Drive, Mechanicsburg, PA.
A native of Zimbabwe and the son of Mapendhla Moyo, who studied at Messiah College in the mid-1960s, Mr. Moyo will tell of his ancestors’ relationships with missionaries, recall his experiences with teachers in Brethren in Christ schools in Africa, and relate conversations with missionaries in Zimbabwe, Zambia, and the United Kingdom.
Since 1964, he has resided in the United Kingdom and has served for many years in the Department of Care Services of the London Borough Council.
July 31, 2010 – Annual Meeting
This year the Historical Society will hold its annual meeting in the tabernacle of Roxbury Holiness Camp on Saturday, July 31, from 4:00 to 5:00. This enables the Society to join with Roxbury in celebrating the Camp’s 75th anniversary. The meeting is open to the public, and everyone on the camp ground is invited to attend.
The Historical Society and Roxbury Holiness Camp are joint publishers of a book-length history entitled, A Living and Growing Ministry: The Story of Roxbury Holiness Camp. The book will be released in the July 31 morning service. In the Society’s afternoon meeting, Morris Sider, author of the book, will speak on writing the Camp’s story. Society officers will report on the Society’s work, and two members will briefly tell why they are members of the Society.
Traditionally, the annual meeting begins with dinner. However, a special meal is not part of this year’s program. Persons attending the Society’s meeting are welcome to stay for the regular Saturday evening meal, available in the Camp’s dining room on a free-will offering basis.
Roxbury Holiness Camp is located 1/4 mile south of Roxbury, Pa., on Route 997. For more information, check the Camp’s website: www.roxburycamp.com. |
