The Tree in the Churchyard: A Bicentennial History of Meadow Creek Presbyterian Church - eBook

The congregation of Meadow Creek enjoys dinner on the grounds in the shade of a massive red oak tree. Many of the people seated around the tables are descendants of Revolutionary War veterans and have lived on the south side of the Nolichucky River all their lives. Most of them are farmers. They love this place. They're very good at what they do. And they treasure their church. For two hundred years, the congregation has met here, and it hasn't always been easy. The Christian life never is.
