My wife Marcia and I attended 1st for about 6 months before I retired and we moved back to Ky. We always enjoyed the worship, the warmth of the fellowship and the strong Biblical mesages. We are in the area for a few days and decided we would swing by the church to see if there had been any changes. Of course we discovered the health club had moved into your former site. We asked where you had moved and we were thrilled to see you had your own building. My God continue to bless your church and we look forward to attending a service when we are next in town on a Sunday.
