Our church held a singing in the woods one day every summer from 1933 to 1964. The first year, about 150 gathered to sing hymns and share testimonies under the trees in Kennel’s woods. The next year there were more than 500 in attendance; and the numbers grew until an estimated 7500 people gathered during the summer of 1950. Attendance started to decline and the last singing was held in 1964 with only 1800 in attendance.
