- Saturday, May 10 - SOAR Global Kingdom Network, a network of ministries knit together to advance the Kingdom of God, will be featured. SOAR GKN's Missions Team recently returned from a mission's trip to Uganda, a country in East Africa. They saw God move mightily as they traveled about Uganda proclaiming the name of Jesus. The body of Christ was built up, strengthened and encouraged through their teaching and preaching of the Word of God. Devon Coker, Davis and Kameryn Tyner and Deona and Segras will be sharing how this trip impacted and changed their lives. You'll receive a greater revelation about what it means to follow Jesus to the nations in your neighborhood and beyond. This event is in partnership with Hearts United Ministries, Dominion Church, Darlington, and SOAR Global Kingdom Network. Refreshments included. All are welcome. Doors open at 9:40 a.m. with meeting from 10 a.m. to noon.
