Report
I joined this House of God way back in the 70's when we met in the rural electric company in Radcliff. I do not believe there were more than 20 of us, We were a happy and joyous group. We sure could sing our Praises. I do not remember many names that far back I remember Pastor and Barbara Rosen. Bob Cooper,Senator Joe Prather sadly time has eased many more. My children were raised there for many years Oh the fun days we had there in he summer times with the outings and pick nicks.II t is marvelous to see how out small church has grown. I pray that you wil continue to graw and prosper
