Revival Opens With Promise At First United Brethren Church
Evangelist Oliver B. Williams led the revival opening at First United Brethren Church with a sermon on What Is a Christian based on Acts 2:1-4. Mrs Williams organized a chorus and children’s choir to join nightly meetings that aim to draw larger crowds than the current church capacity of about 100. Williams warned that being a Christian means more than church membership or baptism and that true faith requires being born again. The series continues each night with Mr and Mrs Williams inviting all to attend.
