A good church is a Bible-centered church. Nothing is as important as this–not a large congregation, a witty pastor, or tangible experiences of the Holy Spirit. ~Alistair Begg My husband and I have been members of a little country church ever since we got married.

1967 – Here We Come
January 1, 1967 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. Happy New Year!! 1967 showed up on a Sunday so that means we started out the New Year in church.
