New Chairs!

Well, the first 100 of our new chairs were delivered today! I can personally confirm that they are indeed comfy, and though I didn't test their durability with a sledge hammer (like the manufacturer does on their web site), they appear to be quite sturdy and handsome!

Thank you so much if you donated funds for these chairs. It's sort of funny to consider chairs as a ministry tool, but think of it--for years we'll be using these seats for worship services, youth group meetings, Awana clubs, pot lucks, outreach events, training seminars, fellowship gatherings...we seldom do anything as a church without sitting in chairs! So we appreciate your generosity very much.

As I mentioned, these are just the first 100, and we plan to order 150 more once we have the money donated. So it's not too late to get in on the chair-a-thon! According to our chart we've "sponsored" 115 chairs, so we still need gifts for 135 more (they are $45 each). You can donate on Sunday morning (look for the display near the offering box) or contact us through the web site for other options.

And we hope you'll come this Sunday at 10:30 to sit in a chair! You may want to come early--it's Christmas Pageant day and we've only got a hundred of the good seats so far!
