An Unforgettable Annual Assembly

The 60th Annual Assembly of the Kentucky Council of Churches was held October 18 2007. We give thanks to God that no one was hurt and that we evacuated the sanctuary safely before the bell tower fell through the roof and ceiling, tearing down the beautiful golden oak balcony surrounding the worship space.
