Submit that completed form to the shepherds by September 4th.
Building Project: Things are progressing quickly in our building project. Many of the items previously listed have been accounted for through your private donations.

The average pew is 12 feet long and cost approximately $1140. If you could help in purchasing a pew, it would be greatly appreciated. Please mark and give the funds to one of the shepherds. —Thank You
