This is Watoto’s second visit to our community.
Watoto Children’s Choirs have traveled extensively sharing a message of hope for Africa’s most vulnerable children and women. People see their smiles and are embraced by their hugs. Watoto children have the distinct privilege of telling people, “It’s possible to have joy, to laugh and to have hope, no matter what you’re going through. Look at what God’s done in my life.”
Other than going to Africa yourself, what better way to learn about the amazing work God is doing through Watoto? Please invite your family, friends and church to come to this amazing time.
For more information please call (936) 544-2044, ask for Pastor Malcolm Monroe.

About the Battle of Blackjack Grove
After the war, many of the survivors returned to Trinity County, where they founded Groveton. Today, many county residents are descendants of the three companies of soldiers that the county provided during the Civil War. The Groveton Civil War Weekend is an effort to continue to re-enact the history of our county, state, and nation because it is imperative that younger generations appreciate and remember the past so they won’t make the same mistakes. Where did they get the name of this battle that never happened? Since Groveton didn’t exist during the Civil War, organizers decided to name the battle after where Groveton got its name: a grove of Blackjack oak trees just outside of town!
Mark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Groveton Civil War Weekend Battle of Blackjack Grove in February at the Groveton Indian Athletic Complex in Groveton, Texas.
