Prayer Request

On Sunday mornings, in churches throughout the Stateline, people from all ethnic backgrounds can come together for morning worship, a move that was impossible in  1891. That fact prompted a former slave to establish Rockford's first African American church. One hundred and twenty-eight years later, Allen Chapel A.M.E. is still going strong, opening its doors to people from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds.
