Greetings!

 

Give your $10 and we'll have PLENTY!

In the past few years, Lost Bridge Great Banquet Community has hosted numerous Great Banquet and Awakening weekends. And while we DO ask team members and guests to "Pay It Forward" we have never required that they do so. If every person who has attended a banquet made a contribution of $10 - our coffers would again be flush! Your generous gifts help to provide food and supplies for local weekends, as well as the weekends when we take the Great Banquet to Decatur and Taylorville Correctional Centers!
Checks can be made payable and mailed to:
Lost Bridge Great Banquet
655 S. Airport Road, Decatur, IL 62521

 

God Bless You! Your generosity is appreciated!

DCC GB #4 - December 6-8, 2013
Mark Your Calendar! 

 

Taylorville Correctional Center's Great Banquet #4 - December 6-8, 2013
God is doing new things!

He is sending us out into the streets and lanes of the city; the highways and hedges. But, rather than bringing the poor and the maimed and blind and lame in to the feast, we are being called to take His feast to them where they are - in the prisons.
Lost Bridge Great Banquet Community is preparing this feast of love for the men's correctional facility in Taylorville (Dec. 6 - 8).

Please keep the Team Members in prayer as they prepare for the weekend:
