You are loved!!!

๐Ÿ’œ MidCity Family Gathering for Healing & Remembrance ๐Ÿ’œ

Our MidCity family is hurting today as we remember our beloved Keara Wilkinson ๐ŸŒน. Keara was more than a drummer ๐Ÿฅ, singer ๐ŸŽถ, and praise dancer ๐Ÿ™Œ - she was family.

Her joy, laughter and talent touched us all, and though her life was cut short in a tragic car accident, 18 years of her memory will live on in our hearts forever.

We invite all Past and Current MidCity members to join us for a special time of love, prayer, and healing:

Sunday, Sept 14th, tomorrow 11:00 a.m.
Songs & Words of Encouragement
๐Ÿ“ Faith Family Worship Center โ€“ MidCity Gym
604 S 20th St joseph, MO

Together, weโ€™ll pray, share blessings of protection and healing, and lean on one another as family.

12:15pm
Light refreshments ๐Ÿฅค๐Ÿช will be served and weโ€™ll also take a moment to talk about a drum and song tribute with former members.

Letโ€™s come together as one MidCity family - to honor Keara, to comfort each other, and to find strength in Godโ€™s love. ๐Ÿ’•โœจ



Funeral arrangements are pending.
Much luv and prayers to the Wilkinson family,
MCE family and friends.
