  • Work on replacing the boiler has begun. Financing for this unforeseen project is being stewarded by The Heritage Fund and will be repaid in conjunction with our loan for last year’s roofing project. A reminder that those monthly loan payments are a new budget expense this year. Your added gifts will help us meet that requirement and stay on budget. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Dear Friends

Welcome to worship for Sunday, July 27, 2025.

Our summer series, “A Guided Tour of the Bible” continues this week with Part 2, and ventures deeper into the Old Testament following the Torah stops of last week. Each week we will post another in the series. I hope you will continue to connect during our summer break. Please remember that in person services continue weekly every Sunday at 10:00 AM.

As I go away on vacation I would like to draw your attention to a little bit of business before I go. It is mid-summer and time for the annual request to maintain your pledges and offerings even while summer activities may draw you away from church. All of our budget responsibilities continue in the summer months. This year this message is especially important since we have added monthly payments which service the loan for our roof replacement. That amounts to over $1,200/month more than last year.

We finished the first half of 2025 in a good financial position. Keeping up on offering and donations during the summer will greatly increase our ability to resume the fullness of our ministry activity in the Fall. Thank you for your generous support.

 

Grace and peace,

Michael
