Evangelistic Services

Guest minister for the Marlinton Presbyterian Church Evangelistic Service is Rev. Leonard E. Woodward, the pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Greenville, South Carolina.

Mr. Woodward is the son of Presbyterian missionaries, Rev. and Mrs. Frank J. Woodward. He was born on Ocean Island, one of the Gilbert group in the South Pacific.

He is married to the former Miss Agnes Whitestone, of Sylacanga, Alabama, and they have two children, Gertrude Camille, age 17, and Timothy Enfield, age 14.

He received his early education at Stoney Brook, Long Island, New York, graduated from Davidson College in 1937 with a B. S. degree and had two years of graduate work at Emory University. He received the Bachelor of Divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia, in 1943.

Mr. Woodward served pastorates at: The First Presbyterian Church at Troy, Alabama, 1943-46; First Presbyterian Church at Hazard, Kentucky, 1946-48; and the United Presbyterian Church, Harrodsburg, Kentucky, 1948-57 prior to his moving to Greenville.

As an Evangelistic minister, Mr. Woodward is well qualified. His missionary background and experience in the “Bible Belt of Southland” highly recommends him in any church. Seventeen years of actual service to his Lord has capably prepared him to proclaim the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Snow

Snow on top of snow the past week, with prospects of more. Snow and high winds broke the power line on Cheat Mountain last week causing most of the county to be without electricity. With high winds and low temperatures the snow continued to drift. No school Friday or Monday. On Sharp’s Knob snow was 30 inches deep on the level with eight foot drifts. High drifts on secondary roads kept many roads closed until Monday and kept the State Road crew busy.
