[BENTONVILLE — Youngadult minister Joe Moreno at the Christian Center in Bentonville looks forward to Friday evening.] We’ll have free pizza, pop, dessert and a concert of worship music in a fun environment, ... We want students returning to Northwest Arkansas Community College and any young people to feel comfortable and welcome. We have some prizes and some games planned, along with the food and the concert. |
[Moreno hopes the evening will be the first of many such events at the Christian Center. The goal, according to Moreno, is to have the church seen as an extension of God’s love.] We think it’s important for the young people to have a safe place to be where they can meet each other and have a lot of fun, ... This is our first event of its kind, and we plan to have several more. |
