The annual division worship service was held on September 11th at the Swope Parkway United Christian Church. Twenty four Kiwanians attended together. The service was quite inspirational, and was enhanced by an remarkable trumpet solo by Mid-town's own Sylvester Heath, accompanied by Calvin Whitmore, pianist. The congregation also enjoyed a spirited rendition of "Every time I feel the Spirit" by the Mid-town Kiwanis Male Chorus led by George Davis.
