GUESTS ON APRIL 11 Rev. Bill and Rev. Kathleen Amell shared with us a little about Evangel Christian Church. They are a very small congregation with their main church in Roseville. They currently meet at UCC at 2:30 PM on Sundays. They have a Friday night prayer time and often pray for the city of Richmond. Last year, they gave out gifts to children during the Richmond Good Old Days. Our challenge was to consider the Hispanic population.
