Eastern Gate Church is having a canoe trip planned Saturday, June 4. They are coming back to the church to eat and have a memorial service for Ethan Hutchinson. It was one year ago May 28 that he went home to be with the Lord. Just think new body, new home and no worries. A place where everything is beautiful and perfect, no sin and no sickness. A place you don’t want to miss. Some go young and some go old. You never know when. The Loveland Brothers, Jeff and Bob, are to sing. Rev. James Orick, Rev. Jon Mitchell and Rev. Donald Potter will speak. Everyone most welcome.
