Sometime that day between 10

for expanding Christian faith and
family.
Many ideas such as greater youth
involvement, expanded music pro-
gram, sharing responsibilities, being
hopeful in difficult times, taking
advantage of training courses within
the church, possible changes for
accessibility, changes to the base-
ment, inviting other community
members to attsnd and generally
being a supportive community to all,
were positive ideas and comments
from the members.
The Sunday School children again
joined the worship service with their
ideas on what they would like to see
rain.

music, more love, caring and kind-
ness, Sunday School room painted,
longer Sunday School and shorter
sermons.
The rest of the service was con-
ducted as usual until the Prayers of
