JEREMIAH CASTILLE SPEAKS ON “THE HEART OF A CHAMPION”

WITH AN EMPHASIS ON “FAITH” TONIGHT AT 9

Jeremiah Castille will be our featured speaker again tonight continuing his chosen theme for this year of “The Heart of a Champion.” His emphasis will be on “faith.” As our athletes are discovering, Jeremiah is a gifted speaker who motivates, inspires and challenges the heart of every listener.

Lance Taylor will preside, Clint Johnston will give the devotion and the Praise Team will lead in music. Come expecting to enjoy the fellowship of fellow students and be uplifted in spirit by the program.

So far this year, we have heard from three former Alabama athletes who display awesome role models in Jeremiah, John Croyle and Alan Ward. All three have given stirring messages and words of wisdom, advice, inspiration and encouragement. So tonight, spend an hour of your week in worship and fellowship and hear a good word from Jeremiah. Meetings begin at 9 at the College Annex, across from Calvary Baptist.
