Four Churches combine for services in Danville, Illinois
On the Last Day of Unleavened Bread on April 7, 1999 four churches met together for a joyous celebration of the Last Day of Unleavend Bread in Danville, Illinois. The Churches were UCG Terre Haute IN, Lafayette IN Bloomington IL, and the Biblical Church of God of Danville, Illinois. The attendance was 105 with about 24 from the Biblical Church of God.

Offertory message was given by Gary Pifer, sermons by Guy Swenson speaking about "What is a Christian" in the morning and Victor Kubik about the Kosovo crisis and its impact on Christians in the afternoon. Instead of an afternoon sermonette, four inspiring musical numbers were presented and participated in by all congregations. This was a most encouraging day to all of us!
UCG member Cherie Zahora describes the day as follows:
How good and how pleasant........
We just returned from such an event. We had combined services in Danville IL, with 4 congregations including an independent group. All the congregations participated in the two services. The song service and special music was indeed special, and the messages were very inspiring!! And I didn't have to cringe or worry about the content! I don't think anyone was offended. We couldn't tell who was with what group. We just saw lots of smiles!!!
