SUMMER CONCERT SERIES AT LIVING GATE

THE AMP AT LIVING GATE CHURCH

An outdoor summer concert series purposed to break down the barriers of denomination and increase fellowship amongst Christians in New England through music.

Shows will be one Saturday of each month from June through August. If these three shows go well, we may add a September date to reach out to new students and continue spreading the Message. Keep in mind that while these events will be catered toward a younger crowd, we want to invite everyone we meet.

The date is set for June 11th from 6 - 10 pm. The first show of this new ministry is being billed as a tithing, if you will. Bands from around New England will lead us in a night of praise and worship; giving the first fruits of The Amp back to the Lord.

June 11th is just around the corner, so let’s get excited and spread the Word!!

Weekly Bible Verse

Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent. Finally these men said, "We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God."
