Sing ‘n Celebrate ~ November 3 at 7:00 PM

01 Nov

Pain and problems are opportunities to demonstrate our trust in God and also our trust in the fervent prayers of healing prayed on our behalf by our pastors and fellow members of the laity.

We hope you will reserve this evening for hearing personal stories of healing from members of your body of Christ.

Pastor Kenny’s Time For Healing will conclude this service.
