A Message from Father Dave

To our friends in cyberspace,

We really wish that you might drop in and visit us some Sunday.  Our small congregation keeps "dwindling down to a precious few."  Soon, if matters don't change, we will have to close the doors at Advent, an action we do not want to take!

For some of you, attending church may seem out of the question.  Could you find it in your heart to help us financially.  I ask this because I really don't want to close down a congregation that has been so good to me, so loving.

I have met a few of our online congregation over the past few years.  I would like to meet all of your to keep a good thing going.

Dave Else
