About Larue County, KY

Sometimes we forget that we live in a giving America. My family and I attend a small church Gospel of Grace in Hodgenville KY. On Saturday we had a meeting with the Mission Construction Team from CrossPoint Baptist Church of Argo, AL. What a blessing this group is and to be around. You can tell how God's is working blessing families and communties. Our church was selected as 1 of their projects this year. The Team will arrive in KY June 8-12, anticipating 175-200 volunteers in Hodgenville during the project. A team will arrive over the weekend to prepare for the arrival of the group. They should have 80-100 working on the building, others will prepare their meals and some of them will be involved with the caring and entertaining the children. This is a family project for their church. What a blessing I sold the church their land, the pastor his home and land beside his home. All of this land is located beside each other. The church we attended was across the street from my home. After attending for awhile appx. 40 members decided to make the move and start a new church, they spent sometime in an old store in Toniville, through it growth they needed to find a larger place. So they are using the back of a feed store having real pews is getting closer. Everyone is invited to attend church service June 11th at 7 pm. My real reason for this blog that if you spent your day in front of the national media you know how bad it is, well step away and see what good is happening in front of you. You decide your own attitude. I hope to keep everyone update on the future and excitement of this church.

Looking for advice on building a church in Hodgenville, Kentucky

All knowledge good or bad will be appreciated

Thanks

Listed as the National Historic Site of Abraham Lincoln's birth, this building pictured houses a log cabin similar to that where Abe was born to Mary Todd Lincoln in 1809. The site, Sinking Springs Farm is just 10 miles from Knob Creek Farm, where Lincoln spent most of his childhood years. This beautiful place is well worth putting on your list of places to see in Kentucky. There is a gift shop and visitors center where you can learn more about the life of Abraham Lincoln and his family.
