The History Of

MULDRAUGH HILL BAPTIST CHURCH

(September 2009 through August 2012) Several members of the church went on a trip to Cumberland Falls on September 10th, 2009. Three couples in the group had their honeymoons at Lake Cumberland several years ago. It was a beautiful day and a fun trip for all. On Sunday, October 25, 2009, Operation Christmas Child Shoebox of Muldraugh Hill Baptist Church had a dinner and a dedication service. Donations were accepted to help with the shipping cost of the shoeboxes. These shoeboxes, numbering 474, were packed by volunteers prior to the dinner. It costs $7.00 to ship each box. The donations collected before, during, and since the dinner now total $3,050. Praise God! This is just $268 shy of reaching the goal.
