Habitat for Humanity Taking Applications

by John Collins on May 29, 2006

From Rev. Susan Daniel-Brey,

Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County is currently in the process of taking applications for our newest Partner Family. Construction will begin this summer in Cherryvale, once a family is selected. If you are interested in becoming involved in other ways, please contact us using my phone or the e-mail address shown above.

I don’t want to post Susan’s phone or email online, but if you get in touch with the church office, we’ll be glad to pass any information along.

All (Air Conditioning) Systems Go

by John Collins on May 24, 2006

All the thermostats are now hooked up and the AC is working throughout the building. These are programable thermostats. If you are too hot or too cold press the red up arrow to move the temperature up and the blue down arrow to move the temperature down. The thermostat will hold it at that temperature for 4 hours before reverting back to its program. I must say the office will be a much more pleasant place to work this summer.

Difficulties with 9:00 am Worship Service

by John Collins on May 18, 2006

Jenny and I have recently been alerted to the fact that some people would have real difficulty in attending a 9:00 am service because of health issues. We’re considering what The Book of Worship calls “A Midweek Service of Prayer and Testimony” or an “Evening/Night Service of Praise and Prayer” as supplements, but not complete replacements, for the Sunday Service. These would be brief services, possibly Wednesday evening in the chapel. We would appreciate any input you have to offer.
