Next year's Gospel Meeting (2012):
Next years gospel meeting will feature Bro. Dan Manuel as the guest speaker. Bro. Dan has held the meeting many times in the past and we look forward to having him back.
Recap of this years meeting (June 2011):
This was a fine meeting - for Re-Starting and Re-vitalizing a very good group of brethren. We had a new preacher - Del Elkins and the beginning of a very renewed determination. We were blessed with brethren from neighboring congregations which renewed old friendships and helped a new minister get acquainted.
The title of the meeting was "WWJD" (What Would Jesus Do?) It worked out very well - for the type of message needed. Several familiar brethren got up and spoke kind words about the brethren here and the foreseeable future of the congregation. There were no "countable" results, but - a large amount of good will and laudable things that were spoken.
This year's Gospel Meeting (2011):
This year's gospel meeting will be held starting Sunday June 12th through Wednesday June 15th. Services will start at 7:00 pm nightly. Brother Del Elkins, our full time minister, will conduct the meeting. He is a sound gospel preacher with an effective delivery of God's word. His many anecdotes and stories of life's long journeys are both inspiring and uplifting. Come out and meet Bro. Elkins and his wife Barb. You will be glad you did and we look forward to seeing you there. May many souls be reached and our efforts fruitful as we strive to serve in the Lord's vineyard.
