This will use about half of the funds left. The additional money will go to retire debt. Once the debt is retired additional projects will be considered.

IF YOU DESIRE prayer or spiritual counsel, following the service there will be a couple available to meet with you on the right hand side of the platform.

THERE IS A LOST AND FOUND BOX  in the workroom.  There are some Bibles in it.  If you have misplaced your Bible, check it out.
