Our Most Urgent Need
A new dishwasher is our most urgent need.
Currently we have to wash all the dishes by hand and then put them in a sanitizer.
Unfortunately, the sanitizer has to be repaired often with make-shift parts that last only a short period as parts are no longer available.
This is very inefficient and labor-intensive. The dual-dish rack dishwasher we need is made entirely of stainless steel with unique upper and lower spray arm systems which complete the cleaning in minutes.
The pump purging system eliminates soil and chemical carryover during the rinse cycle.
The cost, including installation, is approximately $5,000.

- Donations have come in to secure and install new flooring for the Dining Hall/Chapel/Foyer area. Previous bid came to $12,000. Photos and write-up coming.
- 90 Junior ROTC students came to rake up all our leaves in early November. Then they promptly went down to where all of the leaves were dumped and had a leaf fight. They had fun and we were blessed!

This included repairs to the outside, preparation painting and removal of debris and an old shed and debris. Additionally, one shed was also painted to match the house. Thanks and praises to all.

Focus on the Family
Wayne and Jerry
The Dakes decided to spend their active retirement years serving at Intermountain Christian Camp near Fairfield, ID. Eighteen years later they moved to the Village (in October 2011). Jesus called Wayne home on January 7, 2018. After spending most of his adult years as a carpenter Jerry says he is now helping to build mansions in heaven awaiting her arrival. This couple, married for more than 64 years, have 2 married daughters, 7 married grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren.
