LIVING GLOBALLY

 

Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations” (NIV)

 

The reunion group of Robert Bass, John Blackwell, Rich Blankenship, Jeff Clark, and Paul Stonecipher cordially invite YOU to attend a very special Sequela on September 14th, 7 PM at Freedom Church First Assembly of God, 2801 Thomasville Road, Tallahassee, FL.  Come expecting some really exciting surprises and a wonderful time!

The theme of the evening is Living Globally inspired by the challenge of Tres Dias to be a true Christian Community in Action.  Some exciting (and maybe a little challenging) things are being prepared just for you, so plan to be a part of it.

 

Since the evening is built around a global concept we are encouraging everyone to bring a dish that highlights the flavors of another country!  To spread things out a bit, we have divided dishes by last name:

 

                                                   A-D  ~   South American & Spanish (including Mexico & the Carribbean)
