Gary Bewley Guest Speaker at New Monument Dedication for Henry Clay Morrison

 

Morrison Park President Gary Bewley addresses the congregation at the Morrison dedication.

Henry Clay Morrison was honored with a new monument in the city of his birth, Bedford, (Trimble Co.) Ky. When Morrison was two weeks old, his mother attended Hickory Grove Methodist Church and came back home leaping for joy. She told her neighbor how she gave her young son to the Lord to preach the gospel, and she just knew the Lord answered her prayer. Morrison of coarse went on to become one of the greatest and best known ministers in American religious history. The ceremony took place yesterday, Sunday April 23, 2017 at Hickory Grove Methodist Church. The program included the Reverend Owen Dolin, District Superintendent,  David Taylor, Editor: Trimble Banner, and The Reverend Stuart Smith, from Asbury University. I was very honored to be asked to take part in the ceremony as well. It was a beautiful program dedicated to Morrison and the great accomplishments in his life. The new Morrison monument was most appropriate. Thanks to Ms. Hilda Parrish and all the members of the Trimble County Historical Society, for honoring Henry Clay Morrison in such a special way.            Gary Bewley
