Historical Tidbit: Evangelical Bible Church, Advent Christian of Whitman 1893
Evangelical Bible Church, Advent Christian of Whitman was located at the corner of West and Silver Street. The South Shore Pentecostal church is located there now. The Evangelical Bible Church started in a tent, then moved to Conant's Hall.
The church was incorporated on October 30, 1892.
It wasn't until 1893 until the foundation for a new church was established.. Rev. William A. Burch was the first Church pastor. As time went on membership began to decline. The church building was then put up for sale. The church was purchased by the South Shore Pentecostal Church in 1980. When the building was sold, the Evangelical Christian church retained the parsonage (the building where the pastor resides), located on Raynor Street. The current SS Pentecostal pastor family rented the parsonage and lived there for 6 months before the property was sold.

On August 31, 2017 Donnie underwent spinal fusion surgery. Due to complications during surgery Donnie, unfortunately, is now a quadriplegic.
A fundraiser has been put together in his honor by myself, Linda Griffin, and Sue DaSilva. We are looking for raffle donations. We are trying to raise money for MOBILITY EQUIPMENT for Donnie that he desperately needs for everyday life. We need help from all of you!!!
The fund raiser will be held on Saturday, August 31, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. at the Whitman VFW Pavilion. Tickets are $15.00 per person, $25.00 a couple. They will be sold at the door or by contacting Linda Griffin at 781-733-4370 or Sue DaSilva at 617-922-9404. All raffle donations contact Linda or Sue. Updates to follow.
Let's show what a great community Whitman is by rallying around one of our own that has given so much.
