Women on Mission July 2018
A BLAST FROM THE PAST
Along with many other churches in the 1970’s, Oakhill had an active bus ministry. This is a letter written by a young boy to George McEuen, one of our bus drivers.
Bro. Jones

Newsletter Article October 1971 - “Losing Sunday School leader hikes 3 miles to give plaque to contest-winning church”
Allen W. Hill, Sunday School director for Northeast Park Baptist Church of Evansville, walked three miles Nov. 7 to present a plaque to Oakhill Baptist Church of the same city. Hill’s church lost a contest over which church could raise its October Sunday School attendance the highest percentage above its average for June, July, and August. The loser, Hill, with a 27 percent increase walked the three miles between churches to present the plaque to his Oakhill counterpart, Robert D. Williams. Oakhill Baptist Church upped its October average by 48 percent above its summer average. The October contest will be repeated for the next two years with the church winning the most years getting to keep the plaque. Bill Carter is pastor of Oakhill Baptist Church, while Robert White is pastor of Northeast Park Baptist Church.
