Larry and his wife, Sara, along with their daughters, Hannah and Faith, are traveling as a family ministry. Their heart is in full-time ministry where they can use their God-given talents to touch hearts, win souls and minister in whatever way God will use them.

Join us for worship at 9 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 28, at First Reformed Church, 510 15th Ave. in Fulton. Pastor Chuck Huckaby will bring the message and special music will be provided by guest Anita Hayes of Clinton. Coffee and refreshments are served in the library during social time after the service.

Children are encouraged to bring their backpacks as Pastor Sun-ah Kang will have a special blessing for them. Sunday School will start at 9 a.m. for children ages pre-K through sixth grade.
