Context

"In August 1944, Gulfport's Community Church joined the Southern Baptist Convention and held its first services at their new building on Gulfport Boulevard, nicknamed "The Little White Church of the Singing Pines." (Loudspeakers were placed in the beautiful tall trees around the building so that chimes could be played to call the people to worship each Sunday morning.) The church was demolished in the 1990s and a Mormon Church built in its place." (Gabber Newspaper, January 15, 2009)
