FROM THE PASTOR
An important event that is coming up
November 10 and 11 is "Road To Freedom." On that Monday and Tuesday a
program led by Tom Brevard and his son, Randy, will be presented in several
Haysville schools. Tom is a licensed minister and has a passion for
helping middle and high school youth to stay away from alcohol and drugs.
They also have permission from the state of Kansas to go into correctional
facilities and encourage persons to stay free from drugs and alcohol when
they are released.
The Haysville Ministerial Association is co-operating with Tom to
provide volunteer help for his programs/assemblies here on November 10 and
11. Sign up sheets were available Sunday and will be this coming Sunday
indicating the opportunities to help. On September 29, at 7:00 p.m., a
meeting for volunteers will be held at the First Assembly of God gym, 1100
East Grand. This will be an opportunity to get more details.
