On Saturday, Jan. 30, SRT will be coming to Ecru for an event at Friendship Baptist Church from 6:30 to 9 p.m. With an outrageously funny approach, dramas, videos, special effects, and speakers, teenagers will be motivated in a unique and personal way to choose to commit to remain abstinent until marriage.
