A Name
For A Church

with the responsibility, inasmuch
as it operated the Nome hospital
and the Mission. It was to be op
erated as a Community Church
with the Methodist denomination
charged with the responsibility of
securing an adequate ministry.
To that end Rev. Robert Treat,
for five years pastor of the Jun- !
eau Methodist Church, and famil- t
iar with the Territory, was ap
pointed to the Nome church in
July of 1949, and the Methodist i
church on its national level paid!
the Congregational body a total of
$13,600 for the Congregational
equity in the property. i
The church, under agreementj
of the Alaska Committee of the
North American Home Missions
Council, is to carry on an ade
quate ministry to the community|
enlisting local support with the
full backing of the parent Metho-J
dist denomination and the cooper-!
ating churches of the Alaska Com
mittee, including some branches
of the Lutheran Church, the
Northern Baptist, the Presbyteri-1
an, the Episcopal, Congregational,
the Methodist and the Moravian
Friends Churches. !
The new deed to the property
is shortly to be turned back to the
local church board, and it will
carry the name of the church. At
its last meeting, the board asked
that a suggestion box be placed in
the sanctuary of the church, and
anyone interested asked to place
his or her suggestion for the name
in the box. The box will be there
this Sunday, and the community
is cordially invited to help “Chris
ten” our church.
