 (Pictures below)
  • Please park in the Lesher parking lot (Sunday only), along Ellis and Lake, and around our building.
  • If you need assistance into the building, please come around back to the office doors (double glass doors off of Lake Street) for assistance.
    • Construction UPDATE.
    How can you get involved? Use your connection card on Sunday or call the church office (484-4053) about the following opportunities:
  • Blessing the workers with a monthly meal. Katie Coffin is heading this up.
  • Weekly cleaning of the indoor portion of the construction site
  • Ann Serna is heading this up.
  • Please call the office or sign up on the connection card on Sunday.
  • Cleaning is expected to happen Friday afternoon/evening or Saturday
  • Prayer times for the workers - Sundays at 5pm, Tuesdays at 6am, & Thursdays at 5:15pm
    		•


    PATIENCE and FLEXIBILITY (Awe and Wonder) will be the themes for us the first half of 2008 as our normal routines will be disrupted by the construction.

    Thanks for your support in these areas!
