Great triumphs can only come out of great trials.’ Our window has proclaimed the good news of Jesus’ resurrection for 95 years. The panels are presently at the glass studio. They are being cleaned, reinforced, and repaired so they will be a window of hope for another 95 plus years. The removal of the panels allowed for a very thorough examination of the wood The examination revealed the need to replace the entire frame. This is going to require: Hiring an architect to draw blue prints Bidding out the prints to Mills to manufacture the frame. It must be ordered special. The cost to complete this work could be upwards to $100,000. We have submitted a claim with our insurance company. Since the damage to the wood frame can be attributed to the broken drain pipe and leaking tower roof. Work completed up to now is: The upper and lower roof of the tower has been installed. The drain pipe has been replaced The 8 stained glass panels have been removed and taken to the stain glass studio. The total bill for work completed is $51,729.20 We received a donation of $20,000, 2 donations for $10,000.00 each from members. In addition we have received checks from other church members totaling an excess of $3,500. It is unfortunate that we have experienced the unexpected at every turn, but as Paul said, “Run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.” RESURRECTION WINDOW 2 $10,000 checks - Anonymous Gary & Ginny Conger Bob & Suzanne Burnett Irma Lou Hubbs Jeff & Tanya Roberts Marjorie Conger AL & BARB SHANABROOK Jan Humphreys &
