Lifting Jesus on Casino Road hits the newspaper

Leita Crossfield interviewed me and another great church this week for an article that she wrote about the "Casino Road Triangle." It's cool to see Jesus, some local churches, (including my own Sonrise Chapel oh yea) getting some positive press.

"Sonrise Chapel is another church in the Casino Triangle helping in the
efforts. "As a church, we really want to show the goodness of Jesus to our
community and we want to partner with other churches that love Jesus and love
people," said John Hammer, associate youth pastor of Sonrise. "Our first
partnered event was the community Easter egg hunt with Word of Grace Foursquare
and Tryonne McMorris who heads up Casino Road Ministries."We want to see the
church get out of its four walls more often. We are also planning a community
barbecue in August and we provide a free meal the third Thursday of each month
at the Boys and Girls Club on Casino Road as well," Hammer said."

Hey John. Sweet article for the Herald. It's cool to see Sonrise is still very much involved with Casino Road.

Also, I must agree with Russell. I was excited to see a link to drudgereport.com
