Special Thank You

Thank you to all our church members who made donations for the Missions Rummage SaleThe Lord blessed and we made over $2,700 to be used to purchase building materials for houses in Juarez, Mexico. A small portion will also go towards Brazil. Special thanks to all of you who came out to help sort items and work the sale on Friday & Saturday. It could not have  happened without each of you giving of your time and talents! Thank you also for helping make my Eagle Project a success:  I learned a lot.           J.D.
