Thorn Church of
God Celebrates
95 Years!
On Sunday, August 21, Thorn
Church of God celebrated its 95th
anniversary. A history of the church
was given and a video of pictures
from years gone by as well as some
more recent were presented. We
had a great day of reminiscing, along
with singing, worship and the word
brought by Rev. Dennis Laughlin, a
former member and one of the many ministers who have gotten their start at Thorn Church of
God. We enjoyed a delicious meal and fellowship as we talked about days gone by. We concluded
the day with singing in the afternoon by various groups, some of which had once attended but had
moved away.
From its humble beginnings out of a brush arbor revival in 1919, to its organization with the
Church of God on August 21, 1921, to its present day facilities and community of believers,
Thorn Church of God has been blessed with some great Spiritual leaders and heroes of the faith
who have faced the challenges and paved the way for us to have what God has blessed us with
today.
What an honor it is to serve as pastor of a church with such a rich spiritual heritage as Thorn
Church of God.
Pastor Arnold Amason
