RANCES STEBBINS Religion writer A Southern Baptist inner city center which serves about 250 resi dents of Old Southwest Roanoke will be relocated this month two blocks farther west to 635 Elm Ave SW near the Wasena Bridge The present center riendship House at 404 Elm Ave is for sale because it lacks parking space and has no place for children to play outside said Mary Cooper president of the board that runs two Baptist centers The proposed center is a large brick house in an established resi dential area The property includes an extra vacant lot Cooper said the program will continue to be directed by Carla Leach renovate the new place and move into it Cooper said The Southwest Roanoke move coincides with the employ ment of a new director of the other Southern Baptist center Community House at 101 17th St SE Karen Holloman a recent graduate in Christian education and ministry from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary began her work there last month Holloman succeeds Judy Koger who had worked at several mission centers in the valley She left Roanoke to continue with the Home Mission Board of the Southern Bap tist Convention Cooper said riendship House and Commu nity House are run by a board of Baptist Mission Centers incorporat ed as part of the Roanoke Valley (Southern) Baptist Association Their major purpose Cooper said is to encourage clients to move from de pendence on having basic needs met to involvement with a Christian con gregation This need not be Baptist she said although some of the children and adults who enjoy the free pro grams at the centers do affiliate with a Baptist church The centers get no tax funds and are wholly supported by contribu tions from the 70 congregations in the Roanoke Valley association The two paid directors are assisted by volunteers from many churches Cooper said Cooper said both centers minis ter to children of all ages and adults interested in improving homemak ing skills and personal growth There are preschool programs and activi ties after school for older children Workers have a commitment to the Bible applied to daily life When riendship House moves it will expand its program to resi dents of the neighborhood east of 10th Street with some coming from the Wasena area Cooper said She said that these residents do not trav el to the West End Center an ecu menically supported facility on 12th Street Southwest not try ing to compete with the good work Cooper added The directors and vol unteers care about many youngsters who lack supervision because their mothers must work Cooper said A high percentage are from single par ent households Holloman the new Southeast di rector has worked with Baptist chil programs since her high school days She is from Chesapeake She took undergraduate study

the job have two sources of help God and their colleagues Unfortunately a veteran teach er of pastoral counseling told the Roanoke Valley Ministers Confer ence this week they are often too proud to see themselves as needing help or too busy to take ad vantage of The Rev Dr William Ogles by professor emeritus of pastoral counseling at Union Theological Seminary in Richmond addressed the interfaith clergy at the Roanoke Veterans Administration Medical Center in Salem Oglesby spoke from 46 years ex perience as a pastor professor and counselor His theme was of the Car With a witty style

for the In their busy and varied lives clergy usually find their prayer time alone with God gets crowded out It is essential if they are to call upon the inner strength all workers need Oglesby noted
