It’s hard to believe May 2011 is already upon us. The year seems to be going very fast. Kids will be out of school soon and summer will, hopefully, finally be here. I wanted to take this time to share with everyone an update on how we are doing and to commend everyone for their [...]

In October the Leadership Team appointed a group to look at our building usage and make plans for the future. One of the main issues is what to do with the houses behind the church. They have been a good resource for the church, particularly the rock house, but the cost of using them and [...]
As we prepare to take full occupancy of the building, several things are in the works to help furnish the new building. We are awaiting word from the Missouri Methodist Foundation on a grant proposal to equip the new classrooms with technology (TV’s, computers). We will know their response by the end of November (they [...]
Since we’ve been using the building and new classrooms, it feels like we’ve already made our home in the new facility. Technically, we have only had a “temporary” occupancy permit.

From the moment in October of 2006 when we made the decision [...]
Dear Members and Friends, Never underestimate what God can do – through us! Last year at this time we celebrated the news that the Mid-High and Sr. High combined retreats at Camp Mo-Val had reached the “100” level – total participation at these retreats was 102 youth and adults. It was a vivid example of [...]
The south parking lot will be finished for this Sunday. It looks great, can’t wait to see it striped. Then we’ll add signage and it will be finished product. Special thanks to Mike Butler for all the hard work on the retaining wall. Now, a final touch-up and fix it session and the new building [...]
Wow, so much has happened in the last few weeks, it’s hard to keep track. We have been in the new building for two Sundays so far, at least partly. This week will be the first week that everything is operational, including the south entrance. There are still things to finish, the south parking lot, [...]
The floor guys showed up this morning to seal the floors in the classrooms of the new building. The stairs aren’t going to be finished by this Sunday and neither is the south parking lot. You can still park on the south lot but will have to come in via the Fellowship Hall. The classrooms [...]
