COMING UP:
PARKING LOT EXPENDITURES
Over the last several years, as Pastor and as a board, we have budgeted in a way in order to save for these parking lot updates without having to take out a loan. We thank God for his leading in this! We are thankful for those who may be prompted by the Lord to give to our ongoing Capital Improvement Funds to offset costs. We are also thankful for those who have given to these items in the past.
