Dear every one!

After such a great weekend, [ECW Annual Meeting] to come home to find the letter from the UTO Board, is truly frosting on the cake.

Considering the big gap between the amount asked for and the total available for granting, I am very pleased to tell you that our grant from St. Mark's in Crystal Falls, was granted, 75%. They will be receiving a check for $15,000.00 to help install a vertical lift, to make all of their worship/fellowship areas accessible by all.

I can just hear the coins falling into the little blue boxes.

We are so blessed!

Praise the Lord!
Maria
