4th Annual Day of Hope


It's time to be encouraged and inspired! On November 4th, the Christ Over Cancer ministry at Woodawn Church of Christ will present our 4th Annual Day of Hope event. This free event will be held at 4pm at Woodlawn Church of Christ. The church is at the corner of Hwy 72 and Bailey Springs Road in Florence, AL, across from the Indian Springs Subdivision entrance and next door to Jennifer House. Our address is 101 CR 323, Florence, AL.

This year, Laurie Mitchell an ovarian cancer survivor will speak as well as Ron Beavers, a glioblastoma brain tumor survivor. Both will tell of how God has helped them deal with cancer. Their stories will encourage and give hope to others that have been affected by cancer. In addition, the Ambassadors, an acapella singing group from Freed Hardeman University will give an inspirational performance to uplift all that attend as well. Attendees will receive a free copy of the Christ Over Cancer book, which has many cancer survivor stories of how God gave them hope during their bout with cancer. We will also be introducing the new Christ Over Cancer Kits which will be available to newly diagnosed patients to provide them with much needed comfort and support during their battle with cancer. Additionally, the new Christ Over Cancer website will be launched that day and will provide more functionality and ministry capabilities than we have had in the past.

The theme for this year's event is LIVE WEAK, GOD IS STRONG , 2 Cor 12:10. The Christ Over Cancer ministry at Woodlawn is in it's 4th year and to date, thousands of people have been encouraged by the words of fellow cancer survivors who tell of how with God that there is always HOPE! This free event is for anyone that has been affected by cancer, including caregivers, and is in need of a little encouragement. A reception will follow the program to allow survivors and caregivers a chance to meet and make new friendships. We hope to see you there. If you have questions, please give us a call at 256.767.3170.
