The Church is not just the building at the corner of Gordon Rd.

and Airport Rd. The Church is the people of God in various places

sharing the message of love and salvation.

You will have opportunities to hear first hand from two of the

missionaries supported by the prayers and finances of Monticello

Christian Church.. This is very important not only for the adults

but for the children to meet and hear from our missionaries.

Sunday, June 21, at all three worship services, John Bailey will be

preaching about his work recently in the Philippines and in China.

Wednesday, June 24 at 7 p.m. Johnnie Bailey (son of John & Cecile)

will be speaking about his mission work in Japan.
