We are saddened by the loss of 6 beautiful women in a van accident on April 24th who attended our meetings regularly. These ladies were part of a partnering organization who were on their way to another meeting when tragedy struck. We had baptized 3 of them and another attended church with us. We mourn with their families and offer these names that they may always be remembered for their courage to progress into living a better life:
Alishia Carroll
Kristie Whitfield
Ashleigh Paris
Normisha Monroe
Tina Rice
Rose Patrick
May they all rest in the arms of a loving, merciful God! They will be missed.

The Women's Recovery Support Group now meets every Saturday from 1-3 PM and is working through the Steps through the Life Recovery Bible Workbook. Sponsor/Mentor opportunities are available and as this group has progressed many new relationships have formed that allow for personal growth.
In March our stats were awesome, 2002 people reached in 46 meetings with 225 recovery milestone chips given out. We also baptized 11 people in our new portable baptistry and gave out over 500 articles of clothing. Many lives are being transformed and we are developing new exciting leaders whose stories are way beyond inspirational. Come check us out at anytime, just take a look at our Meeting Schedule.
