Nursing Home Update:  Our nursing home has been going through some difficulties and the board had sent out a request for help and prayers. In the past two months we have seen a solid improvement in the financial situation, thanks to our loving and gracious God, an excellent spirit of cooperation and sacrifice from our staff, and significant help from our caring and generous congregation. The board would like to sincerely thank all involved. While we continue to operate in a challenging environment we remain very thankful for your prayers and support.
