Church 213 Newsletter
May 1- 8 2016


This past Friday, representatives from First Baptist Church of Cochran came to meet with us to discuss their June 12 trip to help us build.  This group, which will be our largest group of volunteers (around 70) is so excited about being a part of what God is doing at Church 213 this summer.  They met with us to look over the plans, visit hotel sites and also determined to have some of their team members to be housed at Zion Baptist Church.  Wow....this is all just such good stuff!

I love you and, and I'm honored to be your pastor.
