The Life Change Ministry of Cassville celebrated its 1-year anniversary on May 29.

The event featured a motorcycle and classic car show with grilled burgers and hotdogs. Children enjoyed a bounce house and snow cones.

Life Change exists to create an encouraging network of friends for anyone overcoming obstacles in life. Life Change members believe when people are struggling with addictions and overcoming past mistakes it helps to have friends who know what it is like to struggle, but also know God is bigger than those problems.

Life Change has a weekly dinner on Sundays at 6 p.m., followed by music and a talk. Dinner and childcare are provided at no cost to participants.

On Tuesdays at noon there is a free lunch and discussion. Occasional classes like “Jobs For Life” and “Faith and Finances” are offered and a mentorship program is available.

Life Change also engages in ministry outreach activities such as assisting others with laundry, as well as fun events like concerts and bowling.

Life Change meets in the SHOWME Plaza (404 State Highway 248) next to the Cassville YMCA. To contact Life Change call the Director, Derek Cornelius at 417-846-8590 or email Cassvilleumcoutreach@gmail.com.

Life Change is a ministry of the Cassville United Methodist Church in partnership with other individuals and organizations who seek to empower people for a brighter future.
