WADSWORTH, OH 44281 – Last month we had our Spring Gospel Meeting with Mike Madden. It was very well attended with at least 15 congregations coming to show their support of the gospel being preached in the Wadsworth area. We had those who had not attended church in years – plus others who came to our services for the very first time. Mike Madden did a superb job, and congregations looking for someone to preach in a gospel meeting would do well to consider him. –David R. Kenney, 236 West Good Ave.
