Documentary Showing
History of the Red River Revival
“Western Kentucky's Role in The Great Awakening”
Steven Ray with the Hopkins County Genealogical Society has worked three years on a documentary of the history of the Red River Revival. It is now complete and available for viewing and owning. Ms Evelyn Richardson, Glenda Clark, and Dr Michael Knight share important facts and accounts as each site is visited in the documentary.
August 27, 2022 the Church of God in Madisonville, Ky hosted the first showing of the documentary. Attendees were blessed by beautiful singing and the question/answer time following the documentary.

2022 Spring Primitive Camp Meeting
Sunny skies and warm weather made for comfortable camping. Young ladies were dancing and playing as others learned how to reset tombstones, taught by David Wilkins.
Shamirah Nakazzi shared her testimony of becoming a Christian in Uganda and how she found the meetinghouse in Kentucky.
The sermons were preached by Robert Operia and his family led the worship.
It was a refreshing, restful time for all and we praise God for RRMH.
2021 Schochoh Christmas Parade and Christmas Service
The day was beautiful for a parade except for the wind that was fairly strong. No one remembered to buy candy so all we could do was wave and yell an invitation for people to join us at our candlelight service. Some people threw candy to us. That was fun!
We were supposed to turn into the drive that led to the community center but someone had the road blocked so Steve Gove had to take us to the meetinghouse. He drove much faster than he had in the parade and we held on dearly. After dropping some off at the meetinghouse, he drove us back to our cars at the beginning of the parade route.
Our service was beautiful. There were some empty seats, probably due to people still having fears of Covid spread and others were probably not sure if we'd even have the service.
Steven Vann was in charge. Following an appropriate carol, he had a friend read prophecies from the Old Testament and then Tom and I took turns reading the fulfillment in the New Testament. It was educational and amazing how it all flowed together.

2021 Spring Primitive Camp Meeting
It was a very cold and rainy weekend but we were introduced to Glenda Orme Clark's book, A Table in the Frontier; Pioneers, Protestants and The Presence of God. This is an amazing book about how the Great Revival impacted the Gallatin area so it includes the events that occurred at Red River Meetinghouse and Logan County, Kentucky.
