Darren Jones will be the featured musician during Café Night at Connection Church on Sunday April 19. His smooth vocal tones and keyboard talents always lend to a wonderful evening of Classic Country Gospel. Oft times you find yourself singing along as you join in the spirit of the evening. In addition to the country gospel music, you will be encouraged as Maggie Wilson shares a part of her testimony of the difference Jesus has made in her life, based on Proverbs 21:2.

Darren Jones starts at 6PM but it is always good to come early to enjoy conversation and desserts beginning at 5:30. A love offering is welcome, but there is no charge to attend. Connection Church is in Laurel DE, 28714 Seaford Rd (corner of Alt 13 and Bethel Rd) . For details on Café Night, the weekly Tuesday night Bible study, Men’s Breakfasts, prayer groups, or upcoming events like May 3 when Hurlock Community Choir leads the rejoicing, contact 302-875-4646 or Kathy.ConnectionCafe@yahoo.com
