Brothers and sisters, Soon you will be able to see our financial statement for the past year. We did extremely well given COVID. There were a number of extenuating circumstances. First, we were able to qualify for the PPP program from the US government. Then, we had a number of staff leave that we did not replace. Third, there were some projects we put off because of the little the building was used. So we ended well into the black. Now we discover God had a plan for us all along. We need to replace the air conditioner for the church. We also need to replace the concrete pad it was resting on. That is nearly $100,000. In mid July we had a very heavy downpour of rain where a lot of the water on the concrete slab ran into the electrical room where we have the sound system equipment. The replacement of the old with the new and hopefully updating of the speakers will amount to another $60,000. We knew some of this was happening but not when. Now is the time. So because of your generosity we are able to do these things. If you would like to give money towards either of these dedicated projects your gift will be greatly appreciated. Fr. Mike
