Greetings St. John!
I want to take this moment to update everyone on where we stand with the sound and video system upgrade. Donations have begun coming in and we have sent commitment cards out to everyone. I'm encouraged by the support we've received already and look forward to getting this project started soon!
Our goal is to have this system installed and operational by Easter 2019, which falls on April 21. In talking with Lifeline Audio, in order to meet equipment ordering lead times and their installation schedule, our commitment campaign will have a short window. It is estimated that in order to meet an April date, we will have to sign contracts for equipment by mid/late January. This is a short window, but it would be phenomenal if we can rally together to pull this off.
As a reminder, pledges of support are just as important as cash donations. Once the combination of the two reach 100% of the cost of the project, we will contract with Lifeline. While only God knows what will come to pass in the future, I implore you to pray for this project and our congregation. We are God's love in action! Any support that you can commit to is greatly appreciated!
You can bring your donation or Pledge form to the Annual meeting. A box is also available that they can be dropped into.

Prayer Shawl Ministry
Now is a good time to be working on those shawls, whether you want to quilt, knit or crochet. We sent out about 12 in December and could use some to
replenish our stock and be ready for those in need of one. If you think of someone in a trying circumstance, then please come check one out and give that person a visit. They are available through the office during office hours.
