days 1-2:30pm at Downtown Coffee Company Starting June 13You can purchase books from the church office, make

UPDATE ON BUILDING On May 14th a Congregational Meeting was held at the new building, the topic of conversation was the future location of the Traditional Wor-
ship services in the new building. A space was designated for Traditional worship, until such time that the Traditional Sanctuary could be built.
Our Construction experts estimated the cost of finishing the room to be $400,000.
Thanks be to God within two weeks $200,000 in donations were made to the church for the completion of the Traditional Sanctuary.
On Sunday, June 3rd, Pastor Lee challenged the congregation to match the remaining $200,000, in an effort to get the process going to build the
new Traditional Sanctuary.
The remodel on the rest of the building is coming along nicely. All the walls are in place, drywall up and painting is being done, as well as, the
outside windows on the west side of the building have been put in (this is where the Children’s Ministry area will be).
