SLIGHTLY OPTIMISTIC

I am somewhat optimistic about progress on the church building. We are moving forward on the plans and specifications. I delivered copies to two builders in Abilene and after meeting with them I believe we can build our building within our budget. We still need to decide on a builder and get all the costs pinned down.

We met July 6 and Blanche Thrasher was having her knee operation early on the 7. I am praying that she is recovering and will be blessed by the operation. Dick Koenig said that Lois Garrett would appreciate visits. I hope everyone drops by occasionally.

At this time we need all of our church members working together by attending Sunday School and Church and meeting with the committees we have been chosen for. We all need to practice the prayer that Christ taught us "to forgive those who trespass against us". Remember the disciples asked how many times should we forgive someone. You all know the answer to that one.

We still need more posts. Judy needs to let us know how the Food Pantry is doing. Others with news or comments need to use this venue.

Thanks for letting me use it.
