the Sunday at Jack Dalton Park

Hello Community family and friends!

This notice is to remind you that we are meeting this Sunday at 11am at Jack Dalton Park for a special time of worship. Please a lawn chair and some canned food that will be donated to Grace Network. Also there will be a love offering taken for the Good News Jail and Prison Ministry.

We will NOT be meeting at the church in Collinsville this week. Please make sure others know this as well.

Our friend JT Clark and CJ Martin will be sharing the message that is tied to their movie My Brother's Crossing. You don't want to miss this very special time. Our church is meeting with other churches as well… Stone Memorial Christian Church, First Baptist Collinsville and House of Purpose Church in Bassett.

I hope you will join me in the morning. Have a great rest of your weekend, and remember God has called each of us to demonstrate the love of God to our community. Keep on!

With GOD as my guide,

It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.
