Re: Number of Apostolic Churches around me.
At one time in Kingsport,TN there was some 40+ different Apostolic/Pentecostal churches(from very small to large) and that didn't even touch the snake handlers.

I was just thinking about going to taco bell in Kingsport, but decided against it...

Service: singing, specials and preaching
Fellowship: sandwiches and cake; sometimes there was more but it was after service...and the emphasis was on fellowship!
In our northern area the circle had UPC and PAW churches. Great memories!

I attended a UPC church in Racine, WI from around Thanksgiving or Christmas 1955 until I left for Bible School in September 1956. We had fellowship meetings on Saturdays, not sure which week of the month.
We had an afternoon service where the different ministers would get up and say something and there would be special singing. Then there would be dinner in the basement or where ever you could find a place to sit down. Afterward there was a Pentecostal Conquerors service followed by a later evening service. I had the privilege of preaching one of those Pentecostal Conquerors services one time. I can't remember all the churches who participated but I do remember Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Mukwonago , and South Beloit (which was on the Illinois/Wisconsin border).

Ha ha, deadhead's back. Is your skull still numb?
You see dead, when you actually care about people and care about how they're doing you won't isolate yourself from them nor their struggles.
Care, deadhead. Care about people.

In truth...most of what you and the rest of your ilk on here care about is how much dirt you can dredge up on Holiness Apostolics....dont give me this hooey about "caring" for others....

commonsense, I think there were a lot more fellowship meeting years ago simply because for the most part churches were very small and it was a chance for folks to get to worship with a larger group and socialize with peoplpe beyond their little group
Over the last 30 years the size of OP churches have grown and most of them are large enough to organize their own functions. They have enough young people to have dedicated youth activities and enough adult members that you can concentrate on events and activities to get the church members to know each other.
As a young man growing up in Alaska not only was our church small (around 60 members) but the nearest other UPC church was 16 miles away and then the next closest one 90 miles away. In those circumstancs we loved any type of fellowship meeting where it would mean we would see another UPCer!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Look out they might try to convert you 'cause they are on every street corner it seems. I think that that number I mentioned was in all of Sullivan County and not JUST Kingsport.
