Wednesday – choir practice at 7 pm 

 

The annual Strides Lions for Diabetes Stew Fest  held last week was a great success because of each person that participated.  For the people that cooked the stews/soups, the people who provided desserts and drinks, for the people that stayed and fellowshipped with us, for the cleaning crew and for every word of prayer,  it was very important to the event’s success.  We have $1800 that will be donated for individuals and families to assist with their care/medications/education.  Thank you, Southwood Memorial Christian Church Family, and to our Community for all you did!
