“Dollar Day” Sunday
A campaign by laymen is under-
way this week and tomorrow to
raise 5500 to apply on materials
1 needed to complete the building.
I Bunday has been designated “dollar
I day." and each member "
I was asked to donate gl _
over 20, |2, to the fund. The work
so far has been on a cash basis
and it is the earnest desire of the
church to keep it on a cash basis,
the pastor said Wban the remod-
eling U completed it b estimated
that approximately 33,000 worth of
materia] and labor have gone into
the building though keeping within
the government's restriction of
gl .000 in new material and its labor.
This has been done by using much
old material and by members giving
much of their time in labor.
In addition to the improvement
of the auditorium ' five Bunday
School rooms have been ndded, and
the outside has a new covering of
buff-colored asphalt brick, making
an attractive exterior. The auditor-
ium walls are of celotex und the
celling of celotex squares. While
the material improvement of the
building is great the spiritual im-
provement is greater. Roden said,
since the attendance has been
largely Increased and all are en-
thusiastic over the future of the
church
