OF NOTE

PARKING LOT PAVED
We want to say “Thank you!” to Valley Slurry Seal Co. who, in exchange for allowing them to park their equipment on our empty back lot, paved our parking lot for free! We are very grateful. They even moved ‘Dirt Hill’ flattening out a dangerous area for us.

THE SANCTUARY CHANGES
As many of you know, we are grateful for the beautiful, new, solid-blue chairs donated anonymously for our sanctuary. There is also new carpet, new decorations, and new window treatments. Many plants have been planted outside the buildings and new drapes are in the ramped modular. We have also had many improvements made: the outdoor lights have been repaird, trees and bushes have been pruned, and the Main Street lit-sign has been worked on recently. Thank you, to everyone for the hard work.

FREEZER OR FRIDGE NEEDED
