Movie Night at Community First! Village
Come on out TONIGHT AT 7:50 (movie starts after sunset) and enjoy a special screening of the classic western, High Noon.
Bring lawn chairs or blankets.  Concessions available for purchase (cash only).
Admission is free, register here.
 
Forward in Faith Update
Activity on Forward in Faith projects is still ongoing.  Three main areas account for most of the recent and current activity.
  • Safety Compliance
    • We now have a permanent certificate of occupancy.
  • Lighting
    • Installation of extra circuits and additional lights above center aisle
  • Acoustic Refinements
    • Currently experimenting with various wall treatments to control some specific sound reflections.
While the generous FIF pledges exceeded the campaign target, actual pledge receipts remain a bit lower than actual expenditures.  To be good stewards, we are proceeding cautiously to allow receipts to catch up with incurred expenses.
