The homecoming program has for many years been a Saturday night family program.  On Sunday morning someone usually from that family would bring the morning message and then a basket lunch would be spread for all to enjoy.
 
As so many have gotten older it is hard for them to be out late at night and then to come back on Sunday.  Many of our local people have obligations in their own churches on Sunday or if they have come from out of town they want to return home on Sunday morning.
 
The Board made a recommendation that we try having a program all day on Sat. and no longer have a Sunday program.  This was changed for the 2002 year and seems to be working better.
