COMMUNITY CONCERT
Our Saturday worship service will still be held at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 25. We would love to “pack the church” for this special concert and enjoy an afternoon of fellowship before and after the worship service. Please invite your family, friends, neighbors, and anyone you know to attend.
Jennie Williamson is a gifted Christian musician and speaker whose ministry reaches people of all ages. Through music, storytelling, and a joyful witness, she clearly proclaims Christ’s love and His desire that all people be saved.
We hope you will join us for this special afternoon of music, fun, fellowship, and worship. Bring a friend and help us fill the church as we celebrate God’s love together!
