Love In the Name of Christ is starting a garden ministry
called Growing Love. We have 10 families who are enrolled to be gardeners. We
are in need of mentors to work with these families one-on-one. During this mentorship you will work with them in their garden plot and,
more importantly, you will be able to share the love of the Lord and minister
to the spiritual needs of family as well. This is a great ministry opportunity
to reach our community for Christ. Please contact Robin VeltKamp
(231-250-8919) if you are interested in being part of this wonderful
opportunity and ministry.
Baby Grand Piano – Thank you to those who have
contributed to this project so far. A total of $5,090 has been received toward
the approximate $7,500 needed leaving a remaining balance of about $2,400.
Donations of any size are appreciated. Because of the contributions received to
this point, the refinishing has been completed and the mechanical restoration
has begun.
The initial bulletin announcement about this project is
repeated here for those of you who may not have seen it previously: The Council is soliciting funds to
restore a used Baby Grand piano that was recently donated to the church by one
of our members. It was owned by the donor’s family since it was purchased new
in the early 1900s for her grandmother on her 16th birthday, then
passed on to the donor’s mother, and the donor has now given it to the church
on behalf of the family. Because of its age, the piano needs to be restored
mechanically, and needs to be refinished. It is a quality brand piano, and a
professional piano technician has estimated that it can be restored
mechanically for about $6,000 which will make it serviceable for another fifty
to sixty years. A
professional refinisher has offered to refinish it for $1,500. If you would
like more information or would like to contribute to this project, you are
encouraged to contact Wayne Hubers, Treasurer, or
Beth Syperda, Assistant Treasurer, or place your
contribution in the collection designated for the Piano Fund.
