MT. BETHEL’S NEWS FLASH

Volume III
FEATURED HIGHLIGHTS
APPRECIATING CHRIS
Mt. Bethel started 2011 off with a
spiritual heart. On January 23, 2011,
we had an appreciation program for
our own Rev. Christopher Bryant.
As you all know Rev. Bryant has been
a faithful member of Mt. Bethel for a
long time. He has brought the
Library and Resource Center to
where it is now with the help of his
trusting staff. Not to mention his
active involvement in the Mission
Outreach Ministry every third
Saturday of each month. During the
Outreach Ministry Rev. Bryant is
always ready to preach God’s Word.
During the appreciation service
several people stated how Chris has
inspired them to become the people
they are today, such as Rev. Jason
Jones. This day was placed on Rev.
Jones heart to do something for the
man that inspired him to play the
organ. In Rev. Jones words; “you
never know when you help someone
how you can make a difference in
their life”.
Pastor Wooten, Rev. Jones, the
Bryant Family and Mt. Bethel has
shown Chris how we feel about him.
We know that you will be back soon
to inspire more old and young minds.

We love you dearly Chris and thanks
for just being you!
ORDAINED TO CHRIST
One of Mt. Bethel’s own (Rev. Will
Thomas) was ordained on January
30, 2011. Since Rev. Thomas accepted
his calling we have been truly blessed
by the grace of God. Rev. Thomas has
been teaching the Men’s Sunday
school Class for over a year. Now he
is teaching the Adult Sunday School
Class.
During the questioning of the
ordination, Rev. Thomas blew the
council away with his answers. The
decision was 95 percent satisfied.
Congratulation Rev. Thomas, you are
officially a minister of God.
Rev. Thomas has a spiritual mind
and heart with people and we’re
happy that he chose Mt. Bethel to
share his wisdom. Keep praying Rev.
Thomas your blessings are right
around the corner.
INSTALLATION SERVICES
On January 16, 2011 all officers of all
auxiliaries accepted their positions
for the year 2011. I believe this will
be the year for everyone to do their
part to make Mt. Bethel Missionary
Baptist Church prospers. Satan gets
behind us because God keeps right on
blessing us.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY M.B.M.B.C.
59 YEARS OF PRAISING THE
LORD
Mt. Bethel has really come a long way
in 59 years. In reality 59 years is not
very old and it seems like yesterday
that we just moved on Belt.
According to Mt. Bethel’s history we
began with a handful of members and
now we have so many members, I
can’t keep up with them. But there
are still 2 originals members that are
still with us, Mother Willie Mae
McGinnis and Deacon O.G. Harris.
We would like to thank the Lord for
these wonderful people and others
that have gone on home to glory
because if it had not been for the few
that had the courage to leave and
start Mt. Bethel, we wouldn’t be here
today.
On March 27, 2011, we will be
celebrating our 59th Church
Anniversary, but most of all we will
be praising and thanking the Lord for
bringing us this far. Great is our
faithfulness.
The Ad Book will definitely be a
success, especially with Sis. Betty
Clayton in charge. Now you know
that Sis. Clayton can sell anything
and getting these ads from people is
her specialty. She helps to raise a lot
of money for the Church when
needed. Keep up the good work
Betty!!
We now have a newcomer as our
chairperson this year and her name is
Sis. LaJuana Richards. She has been
a long time member of Mt. Bethel and
we are sure that she will do a good
2
job. She has a lot of people to help
and support her in this celebration. I
think she will have everything under
control. You go girl!! Do your thing.
BOWLING FOR FUN

you know every year it is exciting to
see who wins between Sis. Hervey and
Sis. Smith. These two women know
how to get people involved and raise
some money.
THE HISTORY OF
“APRONS”
I don’t think our kids know what
an apron is.
The principal use of Grandma’s
apron was to protect the dress
underneath, because she only had
a few, it was easier to wash aprons
than dresses and they used less
material, but along with that, it
served as a potholder for
removing hot pans from the oven.
It was wonderful for drying
children’s tears, and on occasion
was even used for cleaning out
dirty ears.
From the chicken coop, the apron
was used for carrying eggs, fussy
chicks, and sometimes halfhatched eggs to be finished in the
warming oven. When company
came, those aprons were ideal
hiding places for shy kids. And
when the weather was cold
grandma wrapped it around her
arms. Those big old aprons wiped
many a perspiring brow, bent over
the hot wood stove.
Chips and kindling wood were
brought into the kitchen in that
apron. From the garden, it carried
all sorts of vegetables. After the
peas had been shelled, it carried
out the hulls. In the fall, the apron
was used to bring in apples that
had fallen trees.
When unexpected company drove
up the road, it was surprising how
much furniture that old apron
could dust in a matter of seconds.
When dinner was ready, Grandma
walked out onto the porch, waved
her apron, and the men folks knew
it was time to come in from the
fields to dinner.
It will be a long time before
something that will replace that
‘old-time apron’ that served so
many purposes. Send this to those
who would know (and love) the
story about Grandma’s aprons.
3
REMEMBER:
Grandma used to set her hot baked
apple pies on the window sill to
cool. Her granddaughters set
theirs on the window sill to thaw.
They would go crazy now trying
to figure out how many germs
were on that apron.
I don’t think I ever caught
anything from an apron.

HEALTH CORNER
HYPERTENSION OR
DIABETES, HOW DO I
KNOW WHAT I HAVE?
Do you sometimes wonder why you
suffer with headaches or sometimes
your energy level is low, you’re not
sleeping peacefully, you’re always
thirsty, and you urinate frequently?
You ask yourself why you’re feeling
bad, when the question should be
when you last visited your physician
for an annual physical or a check-up.
You could be suffering from
hypertension, which can cause
headaches.
Low/high blood glucose can cause a
decrease in energy, restlessness, thirst
and frequent urination.
Hypertension and diabetes are the
number one cause of kidney failure.
Hypertension is often referred to as
“high blood pressure” and if not
controlled can also lead to strokes or
heart disease, as well as kidney
MARK A. HARRIS
failure. Monitor your blood pressure
and record the results if this occurs
often. Consult your physician, who
may need to prescribe medicine to
control your blood pressure if you
can’t control it through a low-sodium
and low-fat diet.
Diabetes come in two forms: Type 1
(ONE) diabetes is when the body fails
to properly produce insulin and
requires the use of insulin injections.
Type 2 (TWO) diabetes is caused by
insulin resistance, which is when the
body fails to use the insulin produced
properly or you may have an insulin
deficiency.
Annual doctor’s visits and blood
panels are very important for
maintenance of good health. The
earlier an illness is detected the more
likely it can be reversed or treated
with minimum drugs or medical
procedures. One test you can
request your doctor to perform is an
“A1C” which can measure your level
of insulin over a period of time.

And this is from the Health Corner.
If you need more information on
diabetes or any other health
problems, please contact any
newsletter staff and we will try to
have an answer for you in the next
issue.
TAKE TIME TO THANK HIM……..
Written by: Tina Jordan
Inspiration from GOD
Praise the Lord Saints!! Hallelujah!
These famous phrases are all a
part of giving God the Glory, of
Thanking Him. We put so much time
in our daily living, our family, our
jobs, and even our church duties, that
take most of the time. When we catch
a break in our schedules, we just
simply…. Take a break. What do
you think would happen if God
decided to… just take a break from
us and all our nerve-on-end
problems? I’m just saying……..
There are 86,400 seconds in a
day. There are 86,400 chances to
thank God for countless Blessings we
experience everyday. Thank you for
Creation, for big things, for small
things, new life, for joyful times, for
peaceful times, and for worship.
Thank you for a conversation with
you, for giving us so much food,
shelter, thank you for your Grace,
Mercy, forgiveness, for your Son,
amazing, divine Love. So in
everything give him Thanks. This is
His divine will.
There are five key words that
describe the essence of thanksgiving:
1. Joy – Psalms 100:1
2. Gladness – Psalms 100:2
3. Dependence – Psalms 100:3
4. Thankfulness – Psalms 100:4
5. Gratitude – Psalms 100:5
Thank you for this moment to say
“Thank You”.
On a more personal note:
I lost my very best friend, my
mentor, my role model and Shero,
and first and foremost, my Mom a
little better than a year ago to a tired
and diseased body that could no
longer go on in this world. I miss her
so much, sometimes it hurts to
breathe! But God – He gave me that
comfort and a Blessed Assurance that
my mama is good and resting safe in
His arms. I have no doubt that I’ll
see her again one day.
So, I Take Time to Thank Him
for allowing me to have had a
wonderful mother in Christine
Harris, I Take Time to Thank Him
for the time she spent here with
family and friends. I Take Time to
Thank Him for injecting a healthy
dose of Christine, the woman, the
Christian and the lover of life in me,
so I can continue the legacy. I thank
God for giving me the mind to write
this column to encourage each and
everyone of us to ponder over your
life and see where He’s brought us
from, what He’s doing now and what
He’s going to do in our lives.
Thank You Lord!!!!!

I’m thankful for a place to pray
And for the books I read
I’m thankful for a loving God
Who meets my every need.
BLACK HISTORY
We have had a lot of black
men and women to contribute in the
past to help our country, but did you
know we’ve had a few people right
here in our church that also
contributed to our black history??
Do you remember the story
Sis. Barnadette Davis read in church
a few years ago about the Buffalo
Soldiers? Do you remember why she
read this story? Well it’s because we
have famous people right here in
church with us and many of us do not
know it. One of these particular
people is none other than Deacon Dan
Griffin.
When Sis. Davis interviewed
Dea. Griffin, he was very informative.
She found out we can learn a lot from
our older members if we just ask and
listen to what they have to say. That
was the most exciting story she has
heard from a famous person. When
she interviewed him, he made her
believe she was right there with him.
But there is also another
person who has contributed to our
black history. He walked with the Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. in the bus
boycott, but unfortunately Sis. Davis
could not interview him, but several
years ago Sis. Giselle Rucker did get
some information and insight on this
person. Check out her story.
Who is this dashing, debonair
young man shown here known as
mug shot number “7019”?? Do you
recognize this man??? Yes, you
guessed correctly! It is Rev. Roseby
James Glasco, Sr. (1916-1986).
It was the year 1985, one
January morning I was on my way to
the federal center auditorium for the
7
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s
observance program. The
auditorium was packed, filled to
capacity. All had come together, both
black and white, to remember the
accomplishments of a great man.
The program began with a
short film. I was focused on this
documentary when suddenly an
individual that I knew was standing
over Dr. King who was sitting at his
desk. It was none other than Rev. R.
James Glasco, Sr., my eyes got big
and my jaw dropped to my chest. I
said to the lady sitting next to me, “I
know him, that’s the pastor of my
church.” More glimpses of Rev.
Glasco appeared throughout the film.
I was in shock. I did not realize how
closely Rev. Glasco had worked with
Dr. King.
You see Rev. Glasco was a
private and humble individual. He
didn’t speak openly about his work in
the Civil Rights Movement. I
couldn’t wait to get to church Sunday
to talk to him.
When I approached him about
what happened at work, he just
smiled and nodded his head. I
wanted to know more, so I went to his
wife, Sis. Overa Glasco, who shook
her head, broke down and told me
that those days working in the Civil
Rights Movement were “dark days.”
Those days were the worst and trying
times to them from day to day. Death
threats were made; their lives were in
danger, at any moment a firebomb
could come crashing thru the
window. Every day wondering if this
was the day when the police would
come to haul her husband off to jail.
I could feel her pain as she spoke of
those difficult times.
To this day, I still do not know
the full extent of his involvement in
the Civil Rights Movement. Rev.
Glasco was the executive secretary for
the Montgomery Improvement
Association.
Here is one of the documents
of the actual minutes from one of the
bus boycott meetings:
The one-day bus boycott on
Monday, 5 December, exceeded the
organizers’ expectations. Only a few
black passengers rode the buses. That
morning, after her brief trial at the
city recorder’s court, Judge John B.
Scott found Rosa Parks guilty of
violating the state segregation law
and fined her fourteen dollars.
Attorney Fred D. Gray appealed the
verdict to the state’s court of
appeals.1 That afternoon,
Montgomery’s black leaders gathered
at Rev. L. Roy Bennett’s Mt. Zion
AME Zion Church to plan the
evening mass meeting at Holt Street
Baptist Church. A smaller group
withdrew to Bennett’s study and, as
these minutes by Rev. U.J. Fields
indicate, created an organization
called the Montgomery Improvement
Association (MIA).2 Rufus A. Lewis, a
businessman and active member of
Dexter Avenue Baptist Church,
moved that his pastor become
chairman,3 and King was elected
without opposition. After choosing
other officers and forming
committees, the group “agreed that
the protest be continued until
conditions are improved” and
decided on the agenda for that
evening’s mass meeting.
1. Fred David Gray (1930- ), a
native of Montgomery, was one of two
black lawyers in the city. He earned
his B.A. from Alabama State College
(1951) and his LL.B. (1954) from
Ohio’s Case Western Reserve
University. Ordained as a teenager,
Gray ministered to the Holt Street
Church of Christ during the boycott.
After he filed a federal suit
challenging the constitutionality of
the bus segregation laws, the local
draft board reclassified Gray’s
exempt status as a minister and
ordered him to report for induction
into the armed services. The situation
was resolved only after the director of
the Selective Service intervened,
indefinitely postponing Gray’s
induction. Gray served as a lawyer
for both the local branch and the
state conference of the NAACP and
for the Montgomery Progressive
Democratic Association. Gray later
8
wrote an account of the boycott titled
Bus Ride to Justice (1994).
2. L. Roy Bennett, pastor of Mt. Zion
AME Zion Church, was president of
Montgomery’s black
Interdenominational Ministerial
Alliance. On the day after Parks’
arrest he had chaired a meeting of
ministers and other leaders at Dexter
Avenue Baptist Church to plan the
one-day boycott. He was also among
the ministers indicted for
participating in the boycott. During
the boycott Bennett was called to the
First AME Zion Church in San
Francisco, where he served until
1965.
Uriah J. Fields (1930- ), born
in Sunflower, Alabama, served as a
chaplain’s assistant in the army
during the Korean War. He received
his B.A. (1955) and M.Ed. (1956)
from Alabama State College and his
M.Div. (1959) from Atlanta’s
Interdenominational Theological
Center. Inspired by Montgomery
leader E. D. Nixon’s campaign for a
local office, Fields ran successfully for
student body president of Alabama
State in 1954. When the boycott
began Fields was interim pastor of
Bell Street Baptist Church. He later
published The Montgomery Story: The
Unhappy Effects of the Montgomery
Bus Boycott (1959).
3. Rufus Andrews Lewis
(1906-), born in Montgomery,
graduated from Fisk University. A
librarian and athletic coach at
Alabama State College from the mid1930s to 1941, he later taught World
War II veterans in night school. In
1958, after his wife’s death, Rufus
began operating her family’s
company, Montgomery’s largest
black funeral business. A member of
Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and the
NAACP, Lewis organized the Citizens
Club, a social club that provided
voter registration assistance and
required members to be registered
voters. Lewis also headed the Citizens
Education Committee and traveled
throughout Alabama, Georgia, and
Mississippi training voter registration
workers. During the Montgomery bus
boycott he headed the MIA’s
transportation committee and cochaired its committee on registration
and voting.
4. Edgar Nathaniel French
(1921-1979), born in Mount Gilead,
North Carolina, received his B.A.
from Livingstone College, M.Div.
from Hood Theological Seminary,
and M.A. from Columbia University.
During the bus boycott French served
as pastor of Hilliard Chapel AME
Zion Church in Montgomery and was
a member of the NAACP. He was
indicted for his participation in the
boycott. He later served as dean of
Livingstone College and pastor of
Trinity AME Zion Church in
Greensboro, North Carolina.
5. Erna A. Dungee (ca. 19091984) was born in rural Alabama.
She moved to Montgomery in the
1920s and graduated from the
Montgomery Industrial Schools and
Alabama State College. After
teaching for several years in rural
black schools she married Dr. A. C.
Dungee, participated in voter
registration efforts in the 1930s and
I940s, and helped found the Women’s
Political Council. A member of the
local NAACP, she served on the
MIA’s finance committee.
6. Edgar Daniel Nixon (18991987) was born in Lowndes County,
Alabama. As a Pullman porter (19231964) based in Montgomery, Nixon
organized the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters’ local union and
served for many years as its
president. His union experience, his
involvement in the March on
Washington movement of the 1940s,
and his observations of nonsegregated
facilities inspired his fight for racial
equality in Montgomery. He served
terms as president of both the state
and Montgomery NAACP and
organized voting drives. After bailing
Rosa Parks out of jail on 1 December,
Nixon organized the meeting the next
day of the city’s black leadership that
9
endorsed the one-day boycott. His
union contacts and organizing ability
helped the MIA raise thousands of
dollars in support of the boycott.
Nixon was among the black leaders
indicted for violating Alabama’s
antiboycott law.
7. Ralph David Abernathy
(1926-1990), born in Linden,
Alabama, was chair of the MIA
executive committee and was among
the ministers indicted for their role in
the boycott. He also chaired the
MIA’s program and public relations
committees, cochaired the committee
to establish a bank and savings
association, and was a member of the
strategy committee. He assumed
leadership of the MIA (1960-1961)
when King became co-pastor of
Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church.
Abernathy served as pastor of
Montgomery’s First Baptist Church
(1952-1961) and then of Atlanta’s
West Hunter Street Baptist Church
(1961-1990). Upon the formation of
the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference (SCLC) in 1957
Abernathy became secretarytreasurer and took over as president
following King’s death in 1968, in
which capacity he served until 1977.
He later wrote an autobiography, And
the Walls Came Tumbling Down
(1989).
8. Roseby James Glasco, Sr.
(1916-1986), born in Muskogee,
Oklahoma, earned his B.S. (1939)
from Tuskegee Institute, B.D. (1941)
from American Baptist Theological
Seminary, and M.Th. (1951) from
Central Baptist Theological
Seminary. A member of the NAACP,
Glasco served as director of the
Alabama Negro Baptist Center (19511957) and as pastor of First Baptist
Church in Jacksonville, Alabama
(1953-1957). During the boycott he
was an officer of the transportation
committee, chaired the MIA's finance
committee, served as secretary of its
housing committee, and was a
member of the committee on
registration and voting. When the
MIA hired a staff to run the office,
Glasco became King's executive
secretary. He was also among the
indicted boycott leaders. He left
Montgomery in 1957 to continue his
work in religious education at
churches in Kansas City and St.
Louis. He was pastor of Mount Bethel
Baptist Church in St. Louis from
1967 until his death.
9. Charles D. Langford (1922), born in Montgomery, received his
B.A. (1948) from Tennessee State
University and his LL.B. (1952) and
J.D. (1967) from Catholic University
of America. Langford and Fred D.
Gray provided legal services to King
and the MIA until 1960. In 1968
Langford joined Gray's legal firm as
a partner.
10. Willie Frank Alford (19151989), born in Florala, Alabama, had
served several churches in Alabama
before becoming pastor of
Montgomery's Beulah Baptist
Church in 1953,where he remained
until his death. An underwriter with
the Atlanta Life Insurance Company
and a public school teacher, Alford
was a member of the MIA's
committees on resolutions and on
relief. An indicted boycott
participant, he advocated an early
end to the boycott and later resigned
from the MIA because of
disagreements over tactics.
11. J. W. Bonner was pastor of
the First CME Church of
Montgomery. A member of the MIA's
executive board, he also chaired its
speakers’ bureau and served on the
committee charged with drafting the
MIA's constitution. He was among
those indicted for participating in the
boycott.
I wonder how many of us could have
endured the struggle.
What are you willing to stand
for??
The next time you see a metro
bus go by, remember that Rev. R.
James Glasco, Sr. played a part in
our ability to sit in any seat from the
back to the front of the bus.

We the members of the Mt. Bethel
M.B.C., pay tribute to Rev. Roseby
James Glasco, Sr., our own
“UNSUNG HERO”.
Here is one copy of the arrest log
from the Montgomery Bus Boycott,
