ALBUMS
########
The Collection of Albums began with two ARC001 and ARC002 prepared as a double side album and bound and presented by Mr Bert Cornell who for 16 years was Church Secretary. These were taken apart and used in the Bicentenary Exhibition in June 1975 and then afterwards set out in covers made of A4 Ring Folders with Card Board Scrapbook Covers mounted on one side only so they could be at any time removed and displayed.
Other Photographs donated for the Exhibition or copies of others loaned for it were similarly mounted on scrapbook pages, with similar covers in similar folders.

This collection has continued in this fashion from 1975 to present day [ 2009 ]
and the loose leafed pages taken out and display for numerous exhibitions or the material removed from the pages and used in other displays.

Four Main Collections exist

1. THE CHURCH HISTORY ALBUMS [ 53 ] with over 2900 pages
2. THE BOYS’ BRIGADE COMPANY ALBUMS [ 31 ] with over 1700 pages
3. THE MCCPF (Lighthouse Ministry) ALBUMS [ 19 ] with over 340 pages

MCCPF began as a Scripture Union Branch associated with the Church from 1954, the Baptist Boys Club Library 1955 - 1957. The Christian Lending Library and Bookstall Ministry associated with the Young People’s Fellowship meeting on Sunday evenings; The Young People’s Auxillary meeting mid week and Young People’s Witness Team, all 1955-1957; . Associated with Saffron Walden District Youth for Christ 1956 - 1963, the Billy Graham Crusades the Church helped to organise locally in 1954, 1955 and 1966. It was also with the Church’s Second Missionary Council from 1965 onwards, the Student Crusades 1963 - 1965 and Operation Mobilisation’s House to House Distribution in the Uttlesford Area about 1964, with which Church members associated.

Over a long period MCCPF Funded the Church archives and produce the first editions of the Church Histories, and produced, and n some cases funded the Boys Brigade Camp Magazines.

From 1954 until 2009 onwards most of the funding and a lot of the prayer support has come from members, and former members living elsewhere, of this Church and Congregation.

4. THE FAC (Four Acres Community ) ALBUMS [ 19 ] with over 1170 pages
this last set are kept on a shelf at the Four Acres Community Common Room
and are the property of that Community. It is a local government Sheltered Housing Community built in 1962 with which the Baptist Church had close connections by maintaining regular monthly services there from 1962 to 1980
a number of church official at the time lived there. also for a time Prayer and Bible Study Evenings were held there at No 28 the home of Mrs Ethel Swan.

From 1982 the Minister expanded this ministry with other Churches in the Town through the Council of Churches and Churches Together until 2005 when attendances became so low and erratic that it was discontinued but carried on monthly by the archivist who lives there until 2007 when it was abandoned, but several Christians of various denominations live there and continue to witness privately and through the 5 weekly Community Groups and their funded monthly newsletter FAN is photocopied on the Church Photocopier.
