They are trying to move into a new location in the Village Green Shopping Center on Dawson Road in Albany. Shouldn’t be a problem, right? Well, apparently it is. Also located in this same shopping center is Charlie B’s, a well known Albany bar. So, what’s surprising about a church having an issue with a bar? Nothing…except Connections doesn’t have any issues with Charlie B’s. |
