Robert Ellis’ baptism will always be remembered by the Gaston Church for many reasons.
The church’s first connection with him started as a result of the church holding Vacation Bible School and picking up his five step-children to attend. After the VBS was over certain members of the church kept taking turns picking up the children to come to Sabbath School to learn more about God. Bibles were purchased for each child, plus for the other kids who were also being picked up from their mobile home park.
