Six members from our church were able to attend the Appalachian Association meetings held at our sister church in Cumberland, MD. This annual gathering of people from Seventh Day Baptist churches in PA, WV, OH, MD, KY, TN, and AL is a time of worshiping and sharing in many different ways. The Full Gospel Seventh Day Baptist church (http://www.fullgospelsdb.org/) hosted the weekend which started out with a picnic, hayride, a special visit from “Short Sally” and vespers on Friday night. On Sabbath Day, we had Bible Study for children and adults, worship, delicious food, informal praise singing, some recognition, visiting, and a concert by the singing group Stained Glass. The Seventh Day Baptist Conference president was the morning speaker and the theme was “Choose!”. On Sunday, there was a Camp Joy and Appalachian Association business meeting followed by lunch and more visiting before people headed back to their homes after a refreshing and inspiring weekend.
