Church has long history of work to spread Gospel

To the editor:

I attended Lynwood Baptist Church from the early 1960s, when it was known as the Third Baptist Church with barely 50 or 60 members, until I moved to St. Louis in 1982.

Cape Girardeau is a fast-growing city. If that guy wants to build a bar, he should build it somewhere else. Do not tell me that is the only parcel of land available.

That church has a lot longer and richer history than most of the businesses in Cape Girardeau. They are there to spread the Gospel to a dying world. Ever since the courts took the Bible out of schools, the United States has suffered more and more each year.

I have always loved Cape Girardeau and will continue to do so. I just hope and pray the council will come to its senses and deny the request.
