Wednesday Night Live!

Each Wednesday when the Galesburg Disctrict 205 is in session we meet for fellowship, education, dinner, worship and study. This multi-generational progam is designed to give parents, youth & children an opportunity to come together at church, have a meal, share in a short worship time, and spend time with their peers in study, fellowship, education or physical excercise. We are in the 2nd year of WNL, and our attendance is growing. The schedule for WNL is as follows:                                                          

3:15-3:45 Pick-up from school (a church van picks children up from Gale & Silas Willard schools and brings them directly to the church to begin the evening--if you would like to have your child picked up, contact the church at 309-342-1200 or firstpresgales@grics.net
