New Life Assembly of God Church in Engelhard, NC


Most folks in these 2 black & white pictures taken in October 1959 are unidentified so if any of you can put a name to a face please let me know so I can update this page.  This church was rebuilt after hurricane Isabel hit Hyde County.  The new church is seen at the bottom of this page.
