New Library Sign

In the last few years our church library has been repainted and reorganized and a new bathroom created in one corner. Recently a member of our congregation painted a sign for the door. Thanks to all involved in all the updates.

Sermon Texts Gone Away

February 5, 2016 - It has become apparent to us that the online service that we were using to link to the sermon texts is no longer providing that service and the files have been deleted. We are working on another method to share Bert's sermons with our blog audience. Stay tuned.
We figured out a different way to link to the sermon texts. Most of the sermons from May 17th through October 25th of 2015 are now available.
