seekers, 79 attended.
Worship
space—In our all-church meeting Friday, the advisory board
presented a plan to meet our immediate need for space. There was consensus to pour a concrete slab
right in front of the west wing of the RMC. We will erect the tent on that slab
and install adequate light for nighttime activities and also install electrical
outlets. We will set up the wooden
platforms made by the last Kansas team and erect an attractive backdrop to give
a better feel. Our budget for the
project is $1200. We will take $400 from
our current church funds. A brother from
the church has agreed to donate the $800 needed to complete the project. All monies for the project will come from the
local church giving. When the tent is removed, at some future point, the slab
with serve as a patio for the RMC.
