MARIETTA, OH 45750 Harmar Hill celebrated their
50th anniversary with a special service on October 16th with W.
Terry Varner speaking. Our Fall Gospel Meeting with Charles Pugh
III was also held the week of October 16-20. J.D. Conley is the

WADSWORTH, OH September 9-11 was one of the most
memorable weekends experienced by the church at Wadsworth. On
Friday evening we had our Annual Sing. It was attended by over
100 souls from 14 area congregations. Twenty-three song leaders
led us in songs. Then, on Saturday and Sunday we hosted the 8th
Annual West Virginia School of Preaching Lectureship. During the
day we enjoyed excellent messages by students, graduates, and
one instructor. On Sunday, the director of WVSOP, Denver Cooper,
spoke three times. The purpose for our having these lectureships
is twofold. It acquaints people in our area with the school and
it acquaints those young men who are preparing to preach with
our area. It has proven to be beneficial to everyone concerned.
I would highly recommend this to congregations of the Lord's people.
