ONE DAY CLOSER CONCERT AT OPEN ARMS CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP


One Day Closer will be in concert ministering at Open Arms Christian Fellowship 311 Broadway in Lincoln on Friday, June 10th at 7:00 PM.
One Day Closer is an energy and worship-driven Christian rock band from Central Illinois who's been said to really "pack a punch". Originally starting as a cover-only band, ODC plays a variety of popular Christian songs heard on local Christian radio. Now having written nearly enough originals for 2 full albums, the band plays a vast mixture of both worlds on stage. They strive to bring an up close, personal, and very professional atmosphere with them to every venue, yet keeping worship a priority. The band consists of 5 members, Josh Ummel - guitar and lead vocals, Christian Tallent - piano and vocals, Jason Watt - lead guitar, Archie Nowell - bass guitar, and Isaac Ummel - drums. "We work to follow God's plan first of all and take baby steps in a forward direction" says Josh Ummel (lead vocalist). ODC's motto: "Follow your heart, chase your dreams, and live your passion". The doors will open at 5:00 PM with a special Family Fun Day 2011 Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser which will last until 6:30 PM. The cost is a donation. All profits will go to Family Fun Day 2011. For more information, contact the church office at 217.732.4800.

Authentic Care reaches out to support one another in difficult times.

    The Mason City and San Jose United Methodist Churches are committed to a vision of “Touching Hearts and Transforming Lives.”
Pastor Stephen King guides this support group called “Comfort-Care Life Group”  If you or someone you know would benefit from the opportunity to know healing and wholeness in their lives - something God truly wants to give us— contact Pastor Stephen King at
