A MINISTRY TO THE DEAF has begun at Bonsack Baptist Church, 4845 Cloverdale Road, under sponsorship of the Roanoke Valley Association of Southern Baptists. The Rev. Randy Buckland, an ordained, part-time pastor, is signing services for the hearing impaired. For more information about the new program, call 366-7631.
REVIVAL SERVICES of the Roanoke District of the Churches of God in Christ are in progress through Friday with Bishop Samuel L. Green Jr. the evangelist. Worship is nightly at 7:30 at Holiness Tabernacle Church of God in Christ, 1130 Melrose Ave. N.W.
VINTON CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN has scheduled homecoming Sunday. The Victors gospel group will sing at 11 a.m., and lunch will be served at 12:30 p.m.
The Rev. Jodie Hendricks is pastor of the congregation at 711 Dale Ave.
THE CATHOLIC HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF THE ROANOKE VALLEY is seeking a new location. Jean Forrest, its director, said the three rooms the society has used in the old convent that once housed the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth have become too expensive to heat now that the building is no longer used by either Roanoke Catholic Schools or the nearby St. Andrew's Church.
The society maintains a small museum of Catholic memorabilia at 600 block of North Jefferson Street. Volunteers from nearby parishes staff the museum each Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Forrest said the museum will remain open in the convent if enough money can be found to keep the quarters open year round. As an alternative, another easily accessible site may be rented.
