DON'T MISS THIS EXCITING CONCERT!

Earlham Church of Christ
THIS FRIDAY, JULY 11
Tickets: $12.00 in advance / $15.00 at the door

Fireflight’s music offers a haven for the accused and beaten down and an inspirational spark to trust and dream again. Seeing the faces of the fans they’ve touched and watching the impact of their new online support community (Iamunbreakable.com) the band knows their message is getting through. As the title track proclaims, for all those who are broken and have lost their way, there is a hope and love that is Unbreakable.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Concert starts at 7.

WE NEED
VOLUNTEERS!

Volunteer here!

OUR BIGGEST NEED each year is having enough people volunteer to help throughout the day of the festival. If you would like to be a part of this awesome ministry, please let us know. The needs are great, but we know that God will bring in the workers! We have opportunities for people to help in the following area:

Set Up Greeter Prayer Tent
Tear Down Sound Technician Games Supervision
Clean Up / Trash Stage Hand Merchandise Sales
General Video Technician  

Please prayerfully consider what you can do to help, maybe even sign up your care group, youth group or college group to adopt an area of need!
