●  Successful Vacation Bible School

The annual Vacation Bible School was held July 13-17 from 6pm to 9pm each evening. With classes and activities for all ages, the participation was outstanding. More than 200 individuals from the local community and surrounding areas attended each evening. An overflowing crowd of more than 285 people attended the final service on Friday evening. Audrey Hartzog did a wonderful job directing this year's program and leading a team of dedicated workers. Morgantown is blessed with talented individuals who willing serve in various ministry capacities. Thanks to all who made this year's Bible school successful. We trust spiritual seeds were sown that will draw the participants closer to Christ.

●  Morgantown Homecoming Celebrated

The annual Homecoming service was held Sunday, October 5, 2008. Former pastor Reverend Salone Green was our guest speaker. We were happy to have Pastor Green, his wife Jane, and their daughter Harolyn in service with us. Harolyn also blessed us by playing the guitar and singing a song she had written. Other music included the children's choir under the direction of Sandi Bean, a special Homecoming Choir under the direction of Cathy Dunaway, and a solo by Reverend Derry Dunaway. The praise team also led the congregation in worship.

More than 245 individuals joined us for the morning worship service, including many out-of-town visitors who seemed happy to be "back home." We were very happy to visit with many former members who now live in other locations. Lunch followed in the Family Life Center and recently renovated kitchen and fellowship hall.

Special thanks to Assistant Pastor Corey Odom for leading the Homecoming service, as well as effectively fulfilling the local pastoral duties during the pastoral transition process.
