From JC Reigns (Kevin Havens’ group)
We are so excited to be a part of the Camp Highroad Benefit Concert again this year!
We hope that all of you will make time on March 2nd, to come to Arcola UMC and join us for an evening of worship and praise.
JC Reigns feels blessed to be a part of this wonderful event, which will raise money for children who might not otherwise be able to attend a Christian camp this summer.
