Our Expansion Planning Committee is meeting this Thursday, hopefully with an architect present. We have already scheduled a topographical study of the land. Their goal to identify immediate and long term needs and implement a strategy to meet those needs as they are needed or as the funds are available. Financing is always a problem...sigh...but we are all praying that our Lord, Who knows our needs even before we ask, will provide at the right time. J. + The Rev. Fr. Johann W.
