FAMILY CENTER NEWS
We have been enjoying coffee hour in our new Founder’s Court each Sunday. We would like to extend an invitation to have informative receptions so that we can answer questions about our Family Center, the construction, progress and next steps. We are also asking that you make your pledge now and talk to everyone you know to make or augment their pledge. We also have naming right opportunities. This is EVERYONE’s Family Center and we all should contribute to ensure construction continues resulting in completion of the Family Center as we have envisioned.
