Darryl Strawberry @ PCC

Former MLB All-Star and Champion, Darryl Strawberry will be speaking at Pocono Community Church this weekend.

Darryl's achievements on the field were often overshadowed by his struggles off the field. This weekend he will recount the highs, the lows and the lessons of hope and survival he learned along the way.

Once a superstar for the NY Mets (the best baseball team in NY) in the 1980s, Strawberry has since faced many personal challenges, including drug use, tax evasion, solicitation, rehab, and treatment for colon cancer.

His life changed course dramatically in 2006 with his wife Tracy, when they devoted themselves to Christ and to his work. Now, in his own words, Darryl delivers his inspirational narrative.

You don't want to miss this event. Darryl will be with us during the Sunday services at 8:30, 10am and 11:30am services. Be sure to invite your friends!

For those attending the Saturday evening service, we will be giving away a huge flat screen TV and hundreds of other prizes. I will also be sharing a special message entitled, "How God Heals Our Hidden Wounds." I'll see you then.

Here's an article from the Pocono Record.
