In this regard the Finance Committee (Andrew Konynenbelt, Jerry den Boon and Lucy Kooy) asks the congregation to review their pledge commitments and inform one of the committee members if they have any difficulty in honouring their pledge as the Finance Committee is working on obtaining additional financing (i.e. mortgage) prior to the start of the build. If you are unsure of your pledge commitments please contact L. Kooy. Finances will be discussed at the meeting. If you have any questions regarding the congregation meeting please contact a council member. This is an important meeting so everyone is encouraged to attend.
