3 multicultural congregations to hold joint worship service on fifth Sundays

Eternity Anglican Church, Eternity Church and Victory Life Fellowship -- which share space and the vision of a single church family in Richmond's North Side -- will meet for their first joint worship service at 11 a.m. tomorrow at 1900 Chamberlayne Ave.

The service, which will highlight the multicultural and multinational character of the three congregations -- members hail from more than 25 countries -- will be in their newly renovated space in a former bank-operations center behind Richmond's main post office.

The three congregations are planning joint worship on fifth Sundays. On other Sundays, they will meet at 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., respectively.
