This is the Oak Grove Baptist Church! Notice the His and Hers outhouses! No running water. I remember when I was very little being allowed to help ring the bell - and riding the rope up as it rang! And then at the age of nine during a revival service I gave my life to Jesus Christ. So I was born (again) here! Happy memories!

Miss that church. Just down the road from my Grandmother's place. She was saved here as well at a late age. I was baptized here by Pastor Floyd Camp. God rest his soul. Actually, I was baptized in a pond because they did not have a baptismal. I loved this church.
