We just purchased a used school bus for $5,000.00 in preparation to use it as a temporary children's ministry classroom as we wait to enclose our patio cover in order to make room for our growing Children's Ministry. This was the least expensive way to accommodate our children's Ministry growth as we proceed with the patio enclosure. We will keep you updated on when it will be installed for use.
Well that's all for now. I love you Church Family and am so thankful for all your prayers, love, and support, I pray for you all daily as well. Looking forward to our gathering together this Sunday as well as every Sunday. Have a blessed week and may every day be filled with opportunities to shine your light for Jesus.
In HIS Service
