Happy 95th Birthday Evelynne!

Birthday cards for Evelynne may be sent c/o Tina Mitchell, 8021 Andover Woods Drive, Apt. 1915, Charlotte, NC 28210. Thank you for caring and sharing God's love.

Note About Who We Are:
 The direction we believe God has given us is to grow into being a multi-cultural congregation. A one-mile radius around our building includes 4% Asian, 19% African-American, 42% White, and 32% Hispanic or Latino neighbors. We best re-present God's Kingdom and God's love when we are together.  This is substantive work. We're getting better at approximating God's goal, but we're not there yet. We need to learn from people like you. We believe in the vision that Jesus gave us when he fed the 5,000, a vision in which we'll all be fed and healed at Jesus' feet together. We hope that we can partner with you in this work.
