Community Come Together To Share
Faith
07/23/07 WGC
The community came together Sunday afternoon for a time of
fellowship and worship during the annual events of the
Community Gospel Sing and Community Worship Service at the
Meade County Fair.
Several local church members provided their talent during
the gospel sing which was hosted by local group Heaven
Sent. Others who participated were Taylor Oliver, A-Team,
Jill Taylor, Dean Haynes, Bobby Hartley, Jackie Miller and
the southern gospel quartet Southern Harmony of Russell
Springs wrapped up the musical program that featured
styles from traditional church hymns to modern praise and
worship to southern gospel music.
Immediately following the Meade County Gospel Sing, was
the Meade County Community Worship Service where several
area ministers and a choir assembled of various church
groups lead those attending through a multi-faith church
service.
During the service First Baptist Church Senior Pastor
Sherman Barnes delivered a message about “Stepping Out of
the Boat” which encouraged local church goers to get out
of their comfort zones.
The service was organized by the Meade County Ministerial
Association and also was a chance for the community to
donate to the group’s benevolence fund. According to
Willard Knipp Pastor of the Brandenburg United Methodist
Church, the fund was established last November and is
designed for outreach and help to displaced and families
in need within the community.
So far the fund has already paid out $10,500 to help needy
families. The offering at Sunday evening’s service will go
toward the fund.
