Member's Meeting - Water Vote

At the members meeting on Feb. 1, we will be voting on the expenditure to tie in to the City water main. This is above a $3,000 cost and was not included in the annual budget that was presented in October. We have just received some final costs and approvals and are ready to present all the information to the members. We did not want to wait two (or more) weeks to have a vote because we are still paying for temporary water, so we would like to vote at this already-scheduled member's meeting.

We will present the options that we looked at, the estimated costs of each, and the reasons why we are recommending to tie in to the City water main.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks. Travis

Midwest Camp Meeting

Last night's Midwest camp meeting went very well. Three ideas were proposed for the theme. The decision was made to spend a week in prayer over what was presented and meet again NEXT WEDNESDAY, January 14th at 8:15 p.m. to finalize details and vote on the theme for this year's camp. If you were unable to make it to last night's meeting and are interested in voting on the theme next week, there will be notes from each of the presenters on the table in the foyer this Sunday. Please pick up a copy and pray over direction in preparation for the meeting. If you have a theme or any ideas to add, please talk with Jerry Emich Jr. before Sunday. There are also many opportunities to volunteer this year. We are overseeing adult classes, adult forums, evening services, general assembly, adult evening worship, morning devotions, auditorium stage management, fellowship time in the "Hub", and registration. If you are interested in volunteering in any of these areas, please contact Jerry.

In any case, join us in prayer as we begin the process of planning for this year's Midwest camp!
