| Celebrating the Past
Preparing for the Future | | Help us burn our mortgage note by our 130th Anniversary, April 17, 2011. In addition to what you already give back to God through your tithes, please pray about putting something extra in the offering each week to help us pay down the mortgage and pay it off early. 50 weeks x $5 is $250, 50 weeks x $10 is $500. Or, give a one-time gift in honor of someone living or deceased. Ask yourself "What can I do to help?"

| Pardon our Dust! | | Pardon our dust as we work on the Mt. Hermon website making it better and more up-to-date for you in the future. Check out our new calendar on the website. |
