Check out our soon-to-be in service all-church mail slot cabinet in the
Fellowship Area near the front door and thank Rex DeBoer for all the hours
he put in building the unit! This has been on the church want list for
many years. Thanks also to the anonymous person who donated all the
funds for materials! You are both awesome!!!
