We will again be going to our Mission Church in Cunta, Honduras where we will do repairs to the church after the earthquakes that occurred last year, at the same time as Haiti. We also would like to be able to put a tile floor in the church to continue the improvement to the church. Pastor Osman is having great success with the people of the community with a strong attendance of the children of the village. We will plan to visit mountain villages to assist the work going on to help Pastor Lepe in his ministry there. I would like to thank every one that has assisted us with our mission work in Honduras over the past 8 years as we have improved the church and helped the community of Cunta.

With the economy in turmoil, we are trying to maintain a good value for our church family. To that end, we are not raising the individual meal prices of $5 for adults and $2 for children under 12, but will be raising the family dinner price form a maximum of $12 to $15. We feel that is still a very good value for those of you with large families. - Jim O'Connor
If you would like for someone to pray with you, either over the phone or to meet with you, please call the church office. There are people who will be happy to pray with you! Contact Faith at 785-6296.
