2020's

2024

  • T&T 2024-12: Bridgeport, MI: "The assembly that has met in the city of Saginaw, MI, since [1888] has moved to this new location. This move was necessary due to a deteriorating neighborhood and a hall built in 1945 that was not accessible to those with physical disabilities. The new hall is closer to where most of the believers live. Many of the regular Sunday visitors to the gospel meeting and Sunday School are still able to attend. The saints were blessed to have Paul Barnhardt on October 20 for the first meeting in the new hall. Please pray as they look to the Lord for blessing and for help reaching out to new people in this area."
