Other
Information
| Building: The
church is in need of a person or persons to take on the responsibility
of the maintenance of the church building.
At this time, after ten years in this ministry, I realize because
of some health issues and my age, I am not capable of doing some of the
things needed in the building. I
would like to resign from this position on June 30, 2007.
I do want all those who have assisted me during the past years to
know how much I have appreciated their help.
If you are willing to help in the building maintenance, please
contact the elders soon. - Chester Ambrose
