2025 August 23rd (Saturday) — The 153rd Annual General Membership Meeting of the Union Grove Campmeeting Association is now in the history books. God blessed us with a perfect day. Sixty-eight members and guests enjoyed a wonderful covered-dish picnic. Sisters Tonya Cottrill and Rebecca Rust offered special music. Our president this year, Pastor Greg Georg, presided over the meeting. Those present were able to inspect the almost-finished work of restoring our tabernacle (built in 1920) — there is no longer any direct contact between the wooden structure and the soil because it has been jacked-up and set on a new concrete foundation; new wooden German clapboard has been installed, and only the addition of trim boards and painting is yet to be done. Those present signed a card for Vincent Petre of "Appalachian Structures" of Flintstone, the contractor who recently did the concrete work, thanking him for giving us a $500 refund on the new tabernacle roof he installed in 2022 and for adding a concrete curb around the platform area at no extra charge this year. Fifty-nine members present cast ballots in-person, and ten absentee ballots were accepted, and from the sixty-nine ballots cast, the four candidates elected to three-year terms on our Board of Trustees are Shannon Rust (53), Karen Majors (51), Jeremiah Mudge (43), and Homer Hardinger (30). We ask for the support of your prayers and your financial donations. To God Be the Glory.
