The goal has been established at $60,000, which Kaufman said will permit the congregation /to proceed with construction pf both a new Church and new Education Unit. If only the minimum goal of $45,000 is reached it will “probably mean that only one of the units can beundertaken.” Costs of construction have not yet been determined. The Rev. Mr. Myers announced two events in the campaign besides the opening service, on. April 24 include a special-sermon on Sunday relating to the building program entitled, “Spiritual Guts,” and a twelve-hour prayer-vigil to be held on Saturday, April 23, the day before the canvass begins.
