Get Set...
On September 20th we are officially launching Jericho Road Church! We really want to look towards this date to invite guests to see what we're all about. We will have a cookout, starting at 5:00 p.m. followed by an outdoor service at 6:00 p.m.
Everything will be provided so spread the word! We will also be passing out flyers in the Community on Saturday, September 12 at 4:00 p.m. We will meet at Cancun Connection. We will also be having a dinner party at Eric and Jenni's new house following this! (Eric will be recording the Michigan vs. Notre Dame game to watch if you're worried about missing it!)
Hope to see you all there... this is so exciting!! God is GOOD!
