Program training employees in carpentry field The Outreach Full Gospel Church construction began in July and a contractor has set the foundation for the new church building. Most of the old church building has been torn down, and will be put back up to be used again. Pastor Bruce Williams docs not, at this time, know when completion will be but by mid September he will have an idea. The Work Experience Development Department has three employees, training in the carpentry field, working at this project. The three employees are Ron Stacona, Vince Simtustus and Theodore Whitehorse. They were working with volunteer contractor George Aguilar, Sr., who was training them, until he went to work on another contract. Until he comes back or another contractor continues the project, the three trainees will be put on hold. They will continue to work until completion of this project, once a new contractor continues construction. Pastor Williams held a fundraiser basketball tournament for the church building August 19-21 at the Warm SpringsCommunity Center. The sum of $1,127 was raised for the church building fund. Williams was very thankful for all who participated in the tournament to raise funds for the church building.

This year the motto was: The earth is the Lord's "Trail of treasures." About fifty children attended and enjoyed a fun learning experience with their friends and teachers. To begin each day, the children marched into the church with the American flag, the Christian flag, and the Bible and pledged allegiance to each. The children then divided into four classrooms by age groups. The teachers in each classroom enjoyed teaching the children, as they learned about the Bible and kindness toward one another. The children learned about families, Adam and Eve being the first Mom and Dad, God planned for families, and about the families in general. They also learned about creation, how God could help people, and about Jesus. Learning to march, obey, and to do kind things for one another was another accomplishment for many of the children. One classroom learned the names of the books of the Bible. Each classroom did lof s of fun activities throughout the week. Such as arts and crafts, and enjoying each other's company and friendship.
