Glory Sighting: WV Conference steps up in a year of storms
Editor's note: The response of the entire Annual Conference to people who needed help in the aftermath of two major storms this year has been a great Glory Sighting. In the next few issues, we'll be sharing stories of these ministries.
Rod Canterbury wasn't sure there would be enough diesel fuel to keep the generator running at Aldersgate United Methodist Church after a derecho knocked out power in Sissonville W.Va. June 29. His attitude "completely changed," when a miracle brought his church enough fuel.
