The Jubilee Singers who performed their rendition of “The Old Rugged Cross” provided music.
Robinsonville Baptist Church pastor Mike McMorris presented the day’s devotional urging those present to be mindful of the holiday’s meaning.
Services held earlier in the week offered pastors of various churches an opportunity to provide devotional messages to those attending.
Monday’s devotional was presented by First Presbyterian Pastor Jim Thorpe with the Rev. Leon Stewart, providing the message for Tuesday.
First Presbyterian Church members provided Monday’s meal with Tuesday’s lunch provided by First United Methodist Church.
