\"\"The Real Faith congregation celebrated the grand opening of its new worship space on Easter Sunday. The celebration included a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the mayor of Clarksdale, Bill Luckett, and two worship services attended by more than 400 people from the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thankful to God for the many contributions, both monetary and in-kind, that have been provided to our church,\u201d says Zedric. \u201cBecause the Disciples of Christ have come alongside our congregation and partnered with us, we now have a great space to worship and the ability to provide service to citizens in the local area.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a difference a year has made! In 2014, the Real Faith congregation worshiped in a small space that was connected to an unfinished shell of a building that only resembled a sanctuary and community center. Today, that unfinished shell is only a distant memory. The faithful journey has landed the congregation in a new state-of-the-art sanctuary with a community center available to serve local residents in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Through the faithful efforts of Real Faith Christian Church and a great partnership with Disciples Church Extension Fund, Disciples Home Missions, the Great River Region, Disciples Volunteering, Disciples Women, Hope Partnership<\/a>, National Convocation, Reconciliation Ministry and Week of Compassion, the congregation realized their goal of worshiping in their new sanctuary on Easter! This is an example of a faithful partnership at work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
