THANK YOU for your support during our recent gospel meeting. We averaged 122 for the week, and it was well attended and supported. Good and eternal things will come from this meeting, because the Word of God was preached and we were challenged to obey God’s word.
We commend LARRY KING who came forward during the meeting and asked for our prayers that he be a better Christian and a better example to those who know and love him. Let’s remember Larry in our daily prayers.
