Recording artist Lesleigh Bennett will be ministering at Open Arms Christian Fellowship this Sunday during the 10:00 AM service. Lesleigh is working on her second CD that should be released the later part of this year or the first of next year. Her first CD is "No Mountain Too High." She is passionate about singing for the Lord. Hear her heart: "I am so excited to see what God has in store for me and my family. When my Mom was pregnant with me my Daddy prayed for a little girl who could sing. I thank God everyday for answering his prayer and lending me the voice that I have. You see, he lent me this voice, and I strive to serve him with it and always remember that it truly belongs to him. My ambition is to serve God with all of my heart, soul, voice, and life and live each day to share His mercy with the world. What blessings I have been given in my husband and our three beautiful children. I pray each day that they see the good works of the Lord and strive to live their lives as examples for the Kingdom.

 Simply stated, I just love the Lord and thank Him daily for the blessings He has placed in my life. 'I’ll praise him in song as long as he lends me his voice.'” The Church is located at 311 Broadway. Come and join us for this very special occasion.
