Living Water Christian Fellowship is currently meeting weekly in homes of its members. Early in 2020 the Covid pandemic and building occupancy issues force a temporary suspension of normal operation. We expect in 2023 to return holding normal services in the building.
Ecclesiasticus 21:5 “A prayer out of a poor man's mouth reacheth to the ears of God, and his judgment cometh speedily.”
