SPECIAL MISSIONS OPPORTUNITY
Our church has been blessed by the late Kevin and Karen Kiefer with the gift of their home. They were fervent church members and even after being unable to attend in person, Mrs. Karen would watch online each Sunday. It was their desire to make a contribution back to the church that was such an important part of their lives. The Board of Trustees has put together a plan for how the property might benefit the church and our community, but first there is much work to be done in and around the home. This is a wonderful way that you can participate in beautifying an area of our downtown community and once again be the hands and feet of Jesus as we serve the wishes of the Kiefers.

On Saturday, June 3 starting at 9:00 AM, we will have a work day! The property is located at 709 Muse Avenue (near Lincoln Elementary School).
We will need help with the following projects:
Cut back bushes and vines that have grown up over the windows.
Cut back bamboo in the back lot that has grown up.
Cut grass.
Clean out the home: clothing, mail, photos, and other personal items.
Remove trash and some furniture.
