The Cedar Springs Ministerial Association is holding its second annual United—a community of one! at 11 a.m. Sunday, at Morley Park in Cedar Springs.

This outdoor, public worship service will be a joint effort between area churches to worship together, and remember what unites them. Many people turned out for the event last year, and liked it so much they wanted it to become an annual event.

“We weren’t Methodist, or Baptist, or Pentecostal, or Christian Reformed, or any other denomination,” explained one worshiper. “We were just Christians, worshiping as a community, and remembering what we all had in common, rather than what separates us.”

The entire community is welcome to attend this event, which starts at 11 a.m. It will feature contemporary worship, a message, and a free picnic that starts at 12:15 p.m. Attendees will want to bring a lawn chair. In case of inclement weather, it will be held at Cedar Springs High School.
