Gospel Concert

First Baptist Church of Columbia Falls on U.S. Highway 2 near O’Reilly Auto Parts would like to invite the public to a gospel concert this Friday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. The mixed quartet Forever Be Sure will be ministering through original music compositions and spoken testimony. In a day when so much Christian music is hard to distinguish from the music of the world, Forever Be Sure’s compositions are a refreshing contrast. Their website, www.foreverbesure.com will give more information about them, and has samples of their arrangements.
