Did you know that: May 18 is the Centennial of the renaming of the church to Forrest Burdette Memorial United Methodist Church. Sunday, June 3 — Service of Consecration 10:00 a.m. (between worship services) Community Open House 3:00-5:00 p.m. As you entered the church today you saw that work is nearing completion on the covered entrance which will finish the church addition. You have been very faithful in your financial support. Through April, over $1,799,483 has been received. Because of your “up front giving” our “construction draw” to date is $1,692,169. Although we will have a few more expenses as we complete the total project, it is not expected that we will need to borrow the total $2 million as once planned. It will not be long until we will have to convert the “draw” to a monthly mortgage. Every gift now will help us lower the total borrowed and the monthly payment. Prayerfully consider making a gift now if you are able. Thank you for your generosity and support.
