WE WANT TO THANK YOU for your attendance and participation at our congregational meeting  two weeks ago.  Thank you for the questions that were asked and the feedback that was received.  The consistory had determined to look for a 2/3 majority for the position to be approved.  The votes reached this mark so the addition of a worship leader to the staff was approved.  The consistory will work to hire someone in this role and will communicate again once a candidate is hired.  

WE HAVE EXTRA CHURCH PEWS being stored here at church that are no longer needed.  If you would like to take one or more of them, please contact Mike Veld at 765-490-1644 or catch him after church.
