The Vision

Sunday Morning Services

April 20 8:00 & 10:30 am

I am the resurrection and the life.  He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.  John 11:25‐26 

Gospel music fans have been falling in love with this group since day one.

Liberty’s music bridges all styles from straight-

ahead Southern Gospel to classic hymns to contemporary. You will certainly enjoy the

enthusiasm these men exhibit while serving and singing to the Lord. While featuring everything from high-energy performances to moments of

contemplation, Liberty always leads the congregation in an incredible concert of worship.

From the Pastor’s Heart: Praise God, Praise God, Praise God! 4 years ago, Judy Coons came to me and asked me if the church would like to buy her property that was adjacent to our property. That was the home of her famous Judy Coon’s Sandwich Shop. We quickly purchased the property and immediately began a complete renovation of those facilities. Judy sold the property to us for $375,000.00 . As of this time, we only need a couple of thousand dollars to pay off this debt. Praise God! To celebrate this great milestone of our church’s life, we will have a special service on April 6th. Judy Coons will be with us in the 10:30 service and share the story of how God gave the property to her and how He burdened her heart to sell us the land. Following that and weather permitting, we will have a dinner on the grounds in front of the Youth Center. Our famous Dessert Auction will be held after lunch. This year the auction will be in the Youth Center. All donations at this event will help to send our youth and children to camp, mission trips and provide scholarships. This will also be a great time for you to walk through those facilities and thank God for His great provision. In addition to all this, during both morning services the Long Range Planning Committee will make a presentation for our next step. Now is the time to press on. Now is the time to peer ahead. Now is the time to prepare for the future. Now is the time to build for the present. I know you will make plans to be part of this exciting day. For God’s Glory, Pastor Mike
