Pastor's School Memories

[RAIDER]

It's hard to believe that it has now been several years since the last Pastor's School.  I have to admit that I miss it for four reasons:

1)  I would attend the Thursday night service.  It was always enjoyable.
2)  I would get there early enough to walk around and catch up with my old HAC friends.
3)  It was a great spot to meet up with HAC FFF posters.
4)  It made for some great HAC FFF threads and conversations.

I'm sure many of us have memories from different Pastor's Schools.  What are some of yours?

*As always, one memory per post - numbers, baby, numbers!

Well, it was at a Pastors' School session that while sitting with one of Hyles' personal bodyguards and deacon, he showed me his membership card with the KKK.

Is this the kind of memories you were looking for?


;D

As long as it increases the numbers it's all good!

Yesterday in church we sang the chorus, "For God So Loved the World." Thought about hearing Al Smith sing that at PS. Maybe it was '84.

Before PS. Spending hours putting together the "I Am an Idea" booklet.

Telling people, "You Can't Park Here."

Those white box lunches. Still wonder why they smelled like pickles.

I was from Dan Parr's church. He spoke at Pastors School 1980 about three weeks before he died of cancer. Preached with oxygen and a patch over his eye that had fallen out.

Evening meeting in Chicago at the International Amphitheater.

Built to host the International Live Stock Exhibition when Chicago was hog butcher to the world, the amphitheater was commissioned in 1934 by Frederick Henry Prince, then head of the Union Stock Yard and Transit Company.


Remember breathing in all the dung dust from the rodeo earlier in the week. I choke and get breathing spasms just thinking about it.

What were we thinking?

Evening meeting at HAC in a tent in freezing cold and snow.

Unbelievable. We weren't too smart.

We had million BTU heaters blowing into the tent.

Never forget it, I've tried.

Hope your mom changed the sheets to hide the Binaca stains.

Didn't Jack Van Impe preach that night? I was a kid and can't remember for sure, but somehow that pops in my head.

Not that night.  By then, we were in stark contrast to him.  JVI was about a decade earlier.

I believe it was Curtis Hutson.

I remember being in the old auditorium and  Bro. H would be matching up pastors with host families like he was an auctioneer.  "Who will take these two? Ok, now can you take 4 more?"  It was actually a sweet & exciting time, seeing people sacrifice and open up their homes.

I also remember the "hostess" ladies all dressing alike, and I remember being there when rental furniture was delivered to set up temporary lounges in the Educational Building. 

When I was a little older, I remember that it meant we'd have to fend for ourselves for dinners all week because Mom & Dad wouldn't be home much!

Pretty sure it was Jackie Boy himself.  Your picture is not from that night, either.
