COG Tithe Money at Work in Philadelphia

Years ago the tithe money of Worldwide Church of God members went to help restore the Wanamaker pipe organ in Philadelphia.  Check out the following video to see your tithe money actually being put to use in something worthwhile, instead of supporting some splinter group and it's Dwight Armstrong hymns.

Just this past weekend, shoppers at the the Macy's in Philadelphia (the old Wanamaker building) were surprised when over 600 choristers who were there mingling with regular shoppers suddenly burst into Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. It's pretty awesome.

The Opera Company of Philadelphia was instrumental in bringing it together to perform one of the Knight Foundation's "1000 Random Acts of Culture" which they'll be doing over the next three years across the country. Accompanied by the Wanamaker Organ - the world's largest pipe organ - the singers burst into song at exactly noon.

New UCG Splinter Groups Starting to Form

The first official splinter group to form from the current UCG crisis has just occurred.

Jack Hendren has split off and started a new group.  The Church of God - South Texas.

He has ties to the Church of God in Latin America that UCG has forced out also.

This is shades of WCG all over again.  More lives, families, and friends will be ripped apart by greedy, self serving ministers on BOTH sides who claim they are the REAL representatives of Christ on the earth.
