Friday Night at Breakthrough

Worship, Testimony and Declaration Service scheduled for tomorrow night, Dec 31 at 7:00pm. We will gather together with hearts filled with praise and thanksgiving to share and make declarations as we enter a brand new year! God has done great things for us & much has been accomplished in 2010, but we have much more ground to believe for and take hold of in 2011! So, come ready to take part in this powerful time together. We will worship first, then have a time of fellowship. Please bring some type of snacks or finger foods to share. God bless you and see you tomorrow night!
