Welcome back to Bible Study on Monday, September 8th in the Adult Ed Room from 9:30 - 11:00 am. We will begin a new course of study entitled "Genesis and the Dinosaur". Did dinosaurs exist? Does the Bible ever mention them? Do they provide proof for the theory of evolution? Or how do they fit into the Biblical account of creation? These are just some of the questions we will be addressing through the course of this study. Join us for a great discussion, fellowship and even some COFFEE!!

Thanks to all who helped or contributed with Mission Fest. We want to thank all that participated in the preparation and execution of the festival, especially the leadership. While many are too humble to be identified by name, there are a handful of people that have spent six months planning and gave up the entire weekend to make sure everything was perfect. Please take time to personally thank them. Without these key people, mission festival could not happen. Thanks again.

Junction Road Cross
By Hollenback, Deb @ 10:28 AM :: 17 Views :: Church Bulletin, Ministry Council
|
At its August meeting, Ministry Council endorsed in concept the idea of placing a large cross (32 feet tall) on the Haas Farm property along Junction Road. We already have offers of donated materials and labor for much of what would be required to make this idea a reality. Our Commission on Physical Properties is weighing options about exactly where such a cross would be placed and how we might best make this a welcoming landmark for visitors and residents of our community who travel Junction Road.
Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

As reported last week, our parking lot project is nearing completion. Problem areas are being identified and plans are being made to address them. A decision will be made next month about when it will be most advantageous to lay the final layer of asphalt.
Since the final cost is still to be determined, we cannot say precisely how much money is still needed to pay for our new lot. To date we have received gifts and pledges of approximately $350,000. We anticipate needing an additional $60,000 - $70,000.
As always, the generous support of our members is greatly appreciated.
