We have a great opportunity to support a wonderful ministry right here in Fayette. Let's show our love for Restoration Springs! This is a benefit concert for this ministry. Only $3 at the door!

Thank you so much for everyone who helped with our Masterpiece Women’s Conference this last Saturday! I could not have done it without you all! And thank you to all the ladies that came to the event. What a wonderful time together, spending time at the feet of Jesus. You are all Masterpieces!
