Hearts United Meeting at Dominion Church, Sumter, 73 W. Wesmark Blvd., Sumter, will hold "Faith for the Impossible" on Saturday, Sept. 12. Pastors Corey and Grace Scarlett will teach. Your heart will be strengthened and inspired as they share practical applications from the Word of God. They believe God is calling His sons and daughters to step into their rightful positions so the Kingdom of God can advance. "God saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace" (2 Tim. 1:9). It's time to step out in faith and believe that everything God has spoken over you will come to pass. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord" (Zech. 4:6). Their desire is for you to anchor your faith to the word of God and confession. You will not want to miss this dynamic, life-changing message. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. for fellowship and light refreshments. Meeting begins at 10 a.m. Parking is available across Dominion Church and Carolina Therapy and the left side and back of Carolina Therapy.
