It is with sadness of heart that we have come to the final chapter of the 10th & Rockford congregation of the Lord’s Church.

Though we are the people, the children, of God, and though our home is in heaven, we still, while in the flesh, must live as “strangers and

The New Testament forbids the forsaking of “the assembling of ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25). The early church in Corinth, though in error on many points, still knew enough of God’s will to come together each week for worship services.
