Sunday Night Service Returns to Winona Lake Grace Brethren Church

Terry White and a number of leaders in the Winona Lake Grace Brethren Church have begun twice-a-month Sunday evening services. These informal times are geared to people who like an opportunity to sing hymns, have informal testimonies, learn of ministries, and enjoy the "Old-Time Sunday Evening Atmosphere". Many people do enjoy the more contemporary worship of Sunday mornings, but this gives an opportunity to also enjoy the music of our heritage.

This Sunday night, Ed Lewis, will be speaking, sharing the ministries of CE National, and playing the piano for the group.
