BUILDING PROJECT UPDATE – 4/22/21
Last weekend the voters of the congregation approved an increase of our construction loan through the Church Extension Fund (CEF). The vote increased our loan $129,000. The voters also approved using up to $40,000 from our operating budget to cover the shortfall that still remained. This is all due to recent building cost increases.
On Thursday, April 22, CEF Loan Committee approved our request to increase our loan from $1,410,000 to $1,539,000. We will keep you up to date as to permitting progress and when, God-willing, construction will begin.
CARING & CALLING
The church prays for one another and seeks to aid others, especially those in the family believers (Galatians 6:10). You can always send prayer requests to Linda Vandergriff. If you would like to provide more than prayers or cards for someone in need, maybe a meal, or help with transportation, etc., you can also contact Linda Vandergriff and she will help to coordinate. Her email is: vandys5@msn.com. Call or text Linda at: 727.452.1077.
CALL RECEIVED to SAINT LOUIS PARK, MN
What joy is ours to be united in the fellowship of the gospel which is at work among us, and believers around the world. I have received a call to serve as pastor to the believers of Timothy Lutheran Church in St. Louis Park, MN.
I ask for your prayers and your guidance as I consider where I might best serve our Savior Jesus, his church, and the those who do not know the gospel. I will be talking with the leaders and members of Timothy Lutheran to learn more about gospel ministry in their community. I will also discuss the call and ministry of Peace Lutheran in Trinity, FL with the leaders and members of Peace.
God has placed these two opportunities before me. I am comforted to know that there is not a right or a wrong decision in considering these two ministry opportunities. God will bless his kingdom through these deliberations and the resulting decision that is made.
In His Service,
Pastor Schwartz
