RevivalDistrict Revival
The District Revival is certain to be a high-point of worship and praise.  You'll want to be part of one or more of the special evenings of praise, witness, and fellowship.   It will also be a fine opportunity to meet Linda Stransky, recently appointed director for Jubilee Project.  

Many thanks to Rev. John Keller for his organization of 2015 revival.   If you have a personal witness to share, he would love to hear from you.  Child care will be available at each site.
