THE ZEST PROJECT
Zion: Expanding, Serving, Teaching
We are expecting work on the church to begin this week. While we await
sections of the new roof to be assembled elsewhere, our bell tower will need
to be removed and the new entrance built. It will be exciting to see
these changes and the progress that will unfold in the next few weeks.
With lots more still to be done, continuous weekly donations toward the
building project, as well as a special offering to be received on Building
Fund Sunday, September 19, will enable us to prepare for the next phase.
Thank you all for your prayers and sacrificial giving
(Amount of money "Already Raised" = $553,203)
