GATEWAY SINGERS AT MCC
The Gateway Singers from Centerville and Ottumwa, Iowa, are a traveling worship team in their 41st year of ministry. They will be in concert at MCC on Sunday, September 5th, at 10:00 for our worship assembly. Dave and Jan McSpadden and Don and Vikki Hunt have teamed together since 1969 to create some of the sweetest harmonious sounds in gospel music. They are a two-family ministry, their wives being sisters. Ministry has taken them to 45 states including Hawaii and Alaska, as well as to Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the Caribbean Islands. They have recorded 20 albums available on eleven CDs.
The Gateways lead worship with a variety of music styles including acappella, old-time gospel, country, and contemporary. They keep their volume level comfortable for everyone. They will be leading our worship assembly and sharing the gospel through songs and testimony. A free-will offering will be received for their ministry at the conclusion of the worship assembly.
SAINTS IN ACTION DAY AT CCCB
Central Christian College of the Bible in Moberly will host its annual special day for senior saints on Thursday, September 23rd.

Registrations may be made through the church and are requested to be made by September 20th. Tickets will be picked up the day of the event.
