Friendship Community Church of God is located on Guilford College Road near West Market Street. They also double as Myanmar (Burma) Church and, on Friday and Saturdays, they are the "Iglesia de Dios Vida Eterna." While the church embraces people of all ethnicities, for the ethnically Burmese or Hispanic, they offer special services. The congregations don't appear to have a website; they do, however, have a new Facebook page (here). As is the case with many churches in Greensboro, it is hard to tell if Friendship Community is affiliated with a traditional religion (like Catholicism or Baptist) or of they are a modern non-affiliated religion. They don't appear to have religious insignia, like crosses. The facility stays busy all weekend!
We took this photo the day we made our 10 mile ride along Guilford College in preparation for our ABC Wednesday post, "G" is for Guilford College.
Addendum: Dina, we found this link about the Myanmar Church. It appears they have about 170 members.
Lovely day for ACC basketball. Lovely day for a reenactment of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. With one foot in the 18th century and the other in the 21st, we're headed out!

Dina: Not sure about how many people from Myanmar are in Greensboro. Need to look into this!
