Exactly and by the time you are done marching you have half the church laid out praying in tongues

We called it a Victory March

I am finding that the AMF, AAFCJ, ALJC, UPC, and a couple others pretty much all sang the same songs, preached the same messages, etc etc

but we had fellowship with ministers within many organizations so that does not surprise me.
Our culture is very much a Oneness culture

While we are talking about memories - - what about SS promotion! You'd walk up to get your promotion certificate to move from the primary class to the intermediate class.

You thought you were really something else!

give Him more than you can afford
and you'll find your cup will overflow
because you can't outgive the Lord.

We would sing that as we marched up to the front to drop our offerings into the plate every service.

yes that was the offering song. but no one sang it like Marietta.

and remember how we had to have a slogan for every year's SS contest? One that would rhyme with the year we were in at the time...........

"Coming alive in '75!" for instance

Us GA folks say don't believe lard is greasy.

Being up here off the beaten path away from mainstream church not sure what the current phrases are. One thing is still the same The Word of God.
