The meeting of Christ’s Church on Sunday evening, July 13, heard a financial report on the progress of ‘Rock Solid Giving’ through the first five months of this year. Due to some unanticipated expenses early in the year, we decided to readjust the 2008 budget with cuts in many of the ministries of the church. Because the giving is almost meeting the budget, the cuts plus some additional giving from the church will find us in good condition by the end of the year. Thanks for your participation in the financial support of Christ’s Church at Tiffin.

After we heard the financial update Bryan Ardner informed us of the developments involving our present property and the possibility of relocating to another lot. Mercy Hospital has become our new neighbor to our south after relocating from their Market Street location. The hospital has made an offer to purchase our present land and facilities to add to their new campus. Christ’s Church at Tiffin has an opportunity to purchase 25 acres of land about eight tenths of a mile from this present facility. The sale of our present property minus the cost of the 25 acres will give us over a half million dollars. The half million dollars will provide more space than we have with our present facilities. Public utilities are available at the new location on CR 591 which joins US 224 to Findlay.

We want you to be informed about this plan for future facilities and land (tools). Follow-up informational meetings are scheduled for Sunday evening, July 20 and Wednesday, July 23 at 6:00 PM. We leaders request your prayers for wisdom as we lead. Pray for Christ’s Church as we plan for the future.

God Bless,
Terry Jones, Senior Minister
