CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS APRIL 5TH 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM Please be in prayer for the women attending this special event. CHILDREN’S & YOUTH FUNDRAISER MEAL APRIL 21 4:30-6:30 PM TICKETS ON SALE NOW! Our elementary kids and youth are selling tickets to help raise funds for summer camp. Tickets are $9.00 each. Catered by: The Cannery Kitchen They are also selling coffee - $14/bag. RESULTS OF VOTE ON PURCHASE OF 33 ACRES On Wednesday, March 19, we voted 109 yes, 5 no, and 1 abstention to move forward with the purchase of 33 acres on S. Market St. near the 290 intersection and across from Tractor Supply. The money for the purchase of the 33 acres will come from the Story to Build On designated fund, which has more than enough money to cover the purchase price of a little over 1.4 million dollars. We also voted to authorize the Facilities Committee to discern which of the listing agents/ marketing firms they want to recommend to the church for church approval for the sale of the 51 acres. As we go forward, you will be informed of each step. The most important next step is for us to pray for God to bring us the right person or group to purchase the 51 acres. Thank you to everyone who has been involved in this process most recently and throughout the previous years!
