Sixty-First Homecoming Celebration

It was great to have Bishop Paul Holt and wife Barbara with us for our Sixty First Homecoming Celebration. We were blessed with a great message from Bishop Holt. We enjoyed the fellowship of being with them. We have known the Holts for many years and enjoyed working in Youth Camps under them as Camp Directors. Bishop Holt is serving as International Heritage Ministries Director (including managing the Fields of the Wood) and as Assistant to the International Financial Director. We thank the for driving such a long distance (almost 600 miles round trip) to be with us.

We also enjoyed local singing talent, a reading of the history of the beginnings of the Huntingdon church and a great meal prepared by the ladies of the church. We missed several who were out sick or away on trips. Although we were low in number we were "soaring as eagles" in Spirit - as Brother Paul encouraged us in his message. We believe God has great plans for the church here if we can just hear his voice and be involved in what He wants for this church. There is so much that He wants to do in us, through us and for us.
