Hey, y’all! Welcome to the Gary Church Podcast . . . from Gary Church, here in Wheaton, IL. We would love to have you worship with us! You may find more information about our next worship service at www.garychurch.org. This is the scripture and message from February 11, 2024- "There's A Stirrin' In The Water"!  Our scripture is read by Rev. Steve Conger (00:05) and the message is brought by the Festival Choir (Gary United Methodist Church Chancel Choir and 1st Presbyterian Church Wheaton Choirs, and members of the community) and entitled "There's A Stirrin' in the Water" (01:46). At Gary Church our mission through Christ is to grow in joyful faith and serve all in love!
