GARDEN
& BEAUTIFICATION FUND
 |
Contributions to this
fund are used to brighten our church. The church board is looking
into getting a water well (approximately $2K) as our next
project. Because of the cost
of water and water restrictions, our existing irrigation system is
turned off. A
water well will allow us to turn the water back on, restore existing
flower beds and create new ones, paying
for itself over the long haul.
|
You may also buy a
business card ad on our website for $20/month or $100/6 months to help
support this fund and get exposure for your business in front of our
visitors.
|
Please visit our
"Book Garden" where you can get all kinds of used books for a
donation. These proceeds help support the Garden Fund.

BUILDING
EXPANSION FUND
You may use the
