Immanuel Fellowship Church is inviting the Winnipeg community to an evening of gospel music, worship, food and fellowship this Sunday.<\/p>\n
Organizer Leke Adeniran said the event is rooted in what church leadership believes is a direction from God.<\/p>\n
“We know for sure that God has got a plan to reach out to souls that day, to people, to their hearts, to their needs that day,” he said.<\/p>\n
Adeniran is encouraging people of all ages to attend, whether they regularly attend church or are simply looking for a community gathering.<\/p>\n
“The role of the church is more than just the church,” said Gift Festus, one of the event organizers. “The church dwells within a community. So we want to touch that community.”<\/p>\n
