FLYING HIGH: Chapter 623 of the Woodmen of the World recently donated an American flag and a Christian flag to the First Christian Church of Washington. They replace ones burned in the fire of the 120-year-old church on April 28, 2014. The church is now worshiping on Sundays at the Temple of Jesus Christ Family Life Center on Hackney Avenue with a contemporary service at 8:30 a.m., Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. and traditional service at 11 a.m., while a new church building is being constructed. First Christian Church is most grateful to the Woodmen of the World for this contribution.
