1. Wednesday, June 19 – 7pm Gateway Woods Presentation at Fellowship Hall
The presentation typically takes about an hour (including 15 minutes of Q&A at the end). The presentation is meant to be a way for Gateway to be accountable to the churches and to give them an opportunity to share what has been happening at Gateway as well as the programs they offer, upcoming events/projects, and prayer requests.
