Treasures And Trash

 

Recently, a few of our regional pastors spent several days at the home of Carol and Barry Bicking, working on closing the ABCOPAD Office once maintained at their home. They went through filing cabinets removing unnecessary materials that had accumulated over the past 30 plus years. A time consuming task... to say the least... going through all the files, culling out important documents while discarding material that is no longer needed and has no historic value.

 

In the end, there was close to a 1/2 ton of paper that accumulated that was then shredded. You can see some of the neat things we discovered while cleaning including: 

the pen used to sign the office documents creating our Region...

 

a map of our congregations in 1962... 

 

and several fun pics of people you might remember.

 

 

 

We saved over 5 large file boxes with valuable historic documents and pictures.
