Building Project Update – Thank you for the prayers!!  Valley Township approved the plans.  Pending the approval of the Commissioners at next week’s meeting, the plans could go to the courthouse and we could possibly have all the approvals we need by next Thursday.  Schedules are being coordinated to see if we can start construction by June 19 or 20 and have the pole building up by July 4.  If this happens it will be a total “God Hug” as my sister says. In construction, you never want to get too down or too excited, so keep praying that no issues arise. In His service, Doug Wesner – Building Committee Chairman * If you would like to donate towards Forever Being Changed, project envelopes are located in the pews!
