“The family that prays together stays together” will be the sermon theme when Quinn Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church celebrates Family Day Sunday.

Quinn Chapel pastor, the Rev. James Stowe, said the idea is to celebrate the importance of families.

“We’re going to emphasize the need for connectedness of people to each other and to strengthen the bonds of the family,” Stowe said.

The special day is also meant to invite people to come to church, both people who may have fallen away and would like to start coming again and new people looking for a church.

“Sometimes people get busy and they move away from the church,’ Stowe said. “People move. We want to bring people in for a celebration of what God is doing in families and in the church and in our community.”

Sunday School is at 9:30 a.m. followed by morning worship at 11 a.m. A dinner will follow.
