News From Our Brethren

Annoucements

The Downtown church of Christ in Gatesville, Texas has disbanded. Declining attendance and poor health among the members led to the decision to close the doors at this time. The nearest sound congregations to Gatesvile will now be the Sun Valley church of Christ in Hewitt, Texas, the Leon Valley church of Christ in Temple, Texas or the Southside church of Christ in Hamilton, Texas. Anyone who would like contact information for any of these congregations and cannot find it online may contact me, Jason Stringer, at samanthajasons02@earthlink.net, or at 254-463-9025.
