THE RELEVANCE OF THE CHURCH IN A CHANGING SOCIETY

The 2016 Kentucky-Indiana Christian Fellowship was held at the Portland Christian School in Louisville, KY from July 25^th through July 28^th.  The theme was the title above.  There was good attendance with Monday evening seeing over 200 there.  The Woodland Camp Singers presented a wonderful program of Christian songs to open the first night of the Fellowship.  Day sessions ran from 9 am until after lunch.  Evening sessions began at 7:30 with a time of congregational singing. Song Leaders were Dan Miller, Tim Morrow, Robert Ridgeway, and Ron Flora. Daily Chairmen were: Julius Hovan, Joe Stone, J. R. Satterfield, and Alan Borders.
