Attention Refreshing Place Family & Friends: Due to the severe weather forecast and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our members and supporters, Bishop Christopher A. Rowell has canceled Bible Study for this evening.

We encourage everyone to remain safe, stay weather aware, and keep your families covered in prayer as the storm system moves through our area.

There will be no in-person or virtual Bible Study tonight.

Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to gathering together again soon. Stay safe and be blessed!

Join us as we come together in worship, fellowship, and celebration of baptism as ONE river, ONE faith, ONE family!

Following service, both churches will continue in fellowship together with a shared meal.
We are asking everyone to please bring a dish to share as we enjoy this special time of unity and fellowship together.

We can’t wait to worship with you tomorrow!
