News from West Marva about Shiloh Church:
“A number of people from various churches of the West Marva District have inquired about what help they can give as we begin our rebuild at Shiloh. We are in need of SKILLED labor in a number of areas. We are looking for volunteers to commit one week to help us in these areas. The week will be sometime in June. At this time we are not firm on the date. The areas we are seeking help are skilled electricians, skilled plumbers, skilled carpenters and skilled dry wall hangers. Interested persons can contact by phone or e-mail at 304-788-0013 or glclem@comcast.net.” Garry Clem, pastor of Shiloh Church On Saturday, April 10, 2010 Maple Spring COB in Eglon, WV will be having an all you can eat Buckwheat Cake and Sausage Dinner as a fund raiser to help Shiloh Church rebuild after the fire.
