From the earliest time, God has encouraged His people
to build and maintain structures and facilities for His purposes. God even took pains to tell Noah how the Ark should
be built and God did the same for Moses and the Tabernacle of Worship and Solomon and the great Temple in Jerusalem.
So important were holy facilities to God's work that the Lord even set apart special people to care for them. Exodus
tells us that only the Levites could build and maintain the Tabernacle and only their priestly descendants could maintain
the Temple. As those spiritual ancestors were specially equipped by God to service His facilities, so the ministry Property
welcomes all who are spiritually gifted in craftmanship, maintainence abilities and other gifts helpful to the care of God's
facility.
We like receiving your ideas about how to better
serve God with our facility, welcome your questions about our building and grounds and the possibilty of serving
in this ministry.
Partnership with the Boy Scouts
Boy Scout Troop #288, which we sponsor, has donated and planted the landscaping in the front
of the church and will maintain it throughout the year. We are blessed with a relationship between our church and these
wonderful young men, who will be the leaders of our communities in the future. To learn more about the Boy Scout Troop,

Now that
the ramp in finished this will allow more people to experience Christ by providing barrier-free access to the church for all
programs, not just worship. With this improvement to our facility we will be able to show the community that we are
a vibrant congregation wishing to invite all to join us.
We also have a "suitcase ramp", which is a small portable ramp that can be placed on the two steps that
lead from the outside into Fellowship Hall when needed. We are in
the process of installing air conditioning in the sanctuary to make worship more comfortable during the hot summer months.

Each
year we have a Day of Caring. This is the time that we gather together in fellowship to spruce up our facility and make
some necessary repairs. We start at 9 am and the Ladie's Society serves coffee and donuts around 10 am and
lunch at noon for the workers. If you drive by you will see people working in the landscape beds, some washings windows,
some with hammers and saws and much more. We are Christians taking care of God's house!
