GERMAN FESTIVAL PLANS CANCELLED:
Due to a lack of interest and support, the effort to
establish an annual “Authentic German Food
Festival” has been abandoned. I wish to thank those
who did show support for this event. Hopefully in
the future more interest can be generated for some
type of annual fundraiser. For years the church has
been caught in a cycle of obtaining and repaying
loans, with each annual cycle becoming more
difficult. Without some mechanism to annually
produce a large influx of additional funds ($40,000$50,000), the church in the near future may end up
in a position in which it will be unable to secure
loans. At that point the congregation may face
extremely difficult decisions regarding its mission.
