A large crowd attended The “Final Harvest” memorial service held during the annual Stockbridge Community Tractor Show. The farming community is thankful for Pastor Scott Castle and Craig Goodlock for their part in the memorial service.
Pastor Scott Castle reflects on the similarities between the farmer and the twenty-third psalm.
Craig Goodlock sums up the characteristics of farming by reading Paul Harvey’s “So God Made a Farmer.”
