At the Fellowship’s March 6 meeting, Charlie Coleman, featured vocalist at the May 11 “Celebration of Christian Music and Tribute to Veterans” concert at the TF Renaissance Theatre gave his personal testimony to members and guests.

Charlie entertained the audience with songs such as Chainbreaker, Worthy is the Lord and a heartfelt How Great Thou Art.

In Charlie’s testimony “Who determines your Destiny?” he described his struggles with attention deficit disorder as a young boy and painful experiences growing up and questions of worthiness. His early challenges influenced his ability to have patience and empathy with young students with learning challenges such as ADHD as well as other emotional and behavior issues. This dedication to the Lord and testimony to His blessings for each of us will be the focus of the upcoming May 11 concert at the Renaissance Theatre. $20 general admission tickets are still available from the following MCFPC members: Tom Mackenzie 303-931-8108; Jim Sykes 614-395-4907; Lee Ayers 623-536-1496 or 623-826-1812; Phil Amack 402-421-8480 or 402-770-2788; Jim Beyers 623-935-7613 or 623-341-9129; Bob Charlton 989-859-3169; Gary Frens 623-256-0356; Ron Glynn 623-535-9324; Howard Atkinson 623-536-4830; Don Sass 623-570-1420; Curt Zimmerman 602-999-8888.
