- Cool Air - Praise God! Thanks to the generosity of many, the air conditioners are being installed in the sanctuary during the "off season".

When they sell, a portion of the money will also go for running the new air conditioners. - Thank you, each and every one, for the way this project all came together so smoothly.

- Almost 500 - We are close to giving away our 500th com-puter! Many of them are pretty good (better than you would need to make resumes, do homework, search for jobs, etc.). We have machines that are wireless with plenty of speed. We have given them away to families in need, non-profit organi-zations and even to people who have started their own for-profit small businesses. Computer re-cipients go through an interview process and the only payment is that they are expected to pay it forward by blessing someone else or serving the community. - God has truly blessed this ministry so we can bless others. If you know of someone who needs a computer, have them call the church office for more information. - It pays to memorize scripture.
