What is your Opinion? Christmas Eve Service during a Blizzard warning!

NE Oklahoma is having its first ever, blizzard warning. The Governor has declared a "State of Emergency" state wide.

Jesus said: "The Sabbath was made for man, Not man for the sabbath."

Soon after, the Burden heirs bought the Corning's share. The church was purchased in 2007 by the Contemporary Artists Center, a non-profit arts organization.
