     Hampton's Church of Christ has made a move. Since September the church has moved their Sunday service from their building on 1st Street to the Youth for Christ building.
     The decision to move services to the Youth for Christ building was brought on by a couple factors, starting with the need for a space with better handicap access. Over the years accommodating the aging congregation has become an increasingly difficult task.
     "We've got several members of the church that have issues," said Pastor Gary Davis. "It's hard to get them in and out of the building."
     The new location not only makes it easier for less mobile members to attend service, but also allows them to interact with the rest of the congregation in a more accessible common area.
