Throughout the ages God has called men and women to be greater than they thought they could be and to do greater things than they ever imagined. God's Word shows us those who heeded 'the Call' and became examples to us through their surrendered faithfulness. This weekend is set to remind us that God still calls His people to greatness. As a Midwest family we will gather together to be reminded to "...live a life worthy of the calling we have received." This event is open to everyone in the Midwest Family of Churches and will be held the weekend of January 17-19 in Chicago's McCormick Place Convention Center. Sam and Cynthia Powell, from the New York City Church of Christ, will be our guest speakers.
