When I think of Harold Cook, I remember him as a Sunday School teacher. He taught the fifth grade class for more years than I can count, faithfully guiding the children of Brookhaven in their growth and biblical knowledge.

It is interesting to note the publishing capabilities in 1977 as compared to today. No internet for blogs or websites. No computers or printers. Each page was typed on a special stencil. Images were hand-drawn with a stylus on the stencil as well. The stencil was attached to a drum on the mimeograph machine which was turned as the paper was threaded through. After each page was printed, they were then assembled, stapled and distributed.
All bulletins, newsletters, church rosters and other local church publications were produced this way. But today, I can type this up on my computer, add the picture with the click of keys and manipulation of my mouse, and even schedule it to published on the day I desire. Such a different technology, but all used for God's work. Mary Lois Wheeler was another of those who committed so much to God's work in the church. It's hard to think of an aspect of Brookhaven of which she was not a part.
All ages contributed to the Advent devotional as evidenced here by the poem written by the third and fourth grade Sunday School class.
Vernon Cheek gave us insight still applicable for today. We still strive to restore Christ to Christmas.
