     It is time once again for our annual pilgrimage to Eckert's Farm in Milstadt, Il. Not only is this one of the favorite events of the year for the Altar Life Church family, but it has also become a favorite of our many friends who have enjoyed the day with us. We would be delighted to have you be a part of the Altar Life Church day at Eckert's Farm this year. We promise a day of great fun and great fellowship! Oh, and then there's the hot dogs and marshmallow's cooked over the evening bonfire! Ummm, ummm,  see you there...
