| Gravel Delivery for Parking Lot this Saturday! |
|
We did all we could to try and get the parking lot paved by Christmas, but December was just too wet. We've waited 12 years for paving, we'll just have to wait one more winter. As soon as the lot is dry and temperatures are above freezing, we'll be paving!
Until then, we've got 40 tons of fine gravel being delivered Saturday morning Dec 20th in two loads -- one at 9:00 am and the other around 9:30. If you can help spread the gravel in the parking lot please call Tom Bannon at 540-786-2882 -- or just show up around 9:15 with a sturdy rake or shovel!

| Giving from July - November |
Here is a comparison of our giving to Mission and Ministry (Operating Fund) for the past three years. As you can see, even with the rough economic times we're facing, we Resurrection People are still putting the work of the church first! Our contributions from July through November this year are almost the same as last year - just a little more to catch up. We're just about $20,000 short of our budget projections, and with the expenses of the new building, Council has set a goal to reduce spending by 10% for the rest of this year. Bee a part of our growth - give generously all year long (and don't forget to claim the deductions as you start filing your 2008 taxes!).
