Justin Lookadoo is coming to Mafair!

Join us as we welcome nationally acclaimed speaker and best-selling author Justin Lookadoo to Mafair UMC.  Justin has been one of the Resurrection event's most popular speakers, and we are thrilled to have him stop by Mafair while he's in our area.

Justin's program will begin at 6pm on Wednesday, February 15.

We will also be serving hot dogs, chips and drinks at 5pm.

Come on over and join us!  And remember, backdoor guests are best!
