Sunday night there were over fifty in attendance and Rev. M. M. Cahill brought a splendid message. Throughout the entire day God's spirit was manifest and we give Him glory for such a splendid beginning this new year.

If you have a hungry heart, a heavy burden, or if you have lost hope, come and worship with us. We have a God who can find a hungry heart, a God who will carry your burden, a God who will give hope to the hopeless. Let us help you find Him. Come and worship and if you can't come, call us and we will gladly come to you.

We have a regular Sunday morning service and a great evangelistic service Sunday evening at 8 o'clock.

You are cordially invited to all of our services.
