The eldership selected the theme, "You Have
Heard it Said, But What Does God Say?" They selected twelve
men to present the lectures: James Rankhorn, Ben Jones, Warren
Kenney, Roger Rush, Scott Farley, Jim Farley, W. Terry Varner,
Charles Pugh, III, Dan Kessinger, Rick Tincher, Terry Jones, and
Albert Farley.
The congregation worked extremely hard in preparing
the building and grounds for the lectureship week. The building
was ready, inside and out. In the years preceding, they built
a new building in which to serve food for the lectureship guests.
The meals served each day were delicious.
They extended hundreds and thousands of invitations
throughout the area of the Big Coal River in Boone County. They
mass mailed invitations to every household; they sent 4,484 copies
of the October issue of WV Christian into area homes. Members
of the Salem church of Christ were very active in preparing these
for mailing. All Boone County area churches of Christ were sent
invitations to attend.
The members received all guests with gracious
hospitality and gave free lectureship books to all families. A
few books are available. If you are interested in receiving one,
contact the elders of the church.
The attendance at each lecture was good. The high
attendance was ninety.
We thank the Seth congregation for their hard
work and hospitality. We commend them in choosing the theme, topics,
and speakers.
The Pennsboro church of Christ will host the 2007
lectures. Be watching for their announcement concerning dates,
theme, topics, and speakers. -Editor.
