Well over 500 people came together as “One Community Under God” (OCUG) on Sunday, October 27, at the Urbanna Firehouse. Believers from many denominations joined together for prayer, music, singing, hearing truths from The Bible and sharing fellowship with a meal! And then the welcomed rains came!
“Members of 10 Middlesex County churches united their love of God, their time and talents, physical labor, preparation and serving food to share with all who came. They never tired but were energized as they served God for His people,” stated one OCUG spokesperson. The churches that co-hosted this year’s One Community Under God were Amburg Baptist, Antioch Baptist, Calvary Baptist, Christ Church Parish, Grafton Baptist, Immanuel Baptist, Mt. Zion Baptist, Remlik Wesleyan, Urbanna Baptist and Urbanna United Methodist.
Offerings that were given will directly benefit The Cryer Center’s WIN program and our county’s Virginia Rules program.
