********************************

We thank the hardworking men's board for their never-ending sacrifice to our church.  They do our yearly picnics in the summer and see to each week's needs.  They sponsored the convention this year and will continue to do more work as needed in the future. 

St. Gabriel's Men's Board would like to thank everyone for their patience and prayers during the process for building the new Church.  We are currently engaged in several planning board meetings with the town of Haworth and things seem to be looking good.  So we encourage you all to keep praying that through God's grace we may obtain a speedy approval and resume our project.  Check back for more news on this project as we will update you as soon as new information is available.

New Church Project Update!

A meeting was held on Wednesday, May 18th, 2005 in Haworth for our Church project and staying there all these years until late hours has paid off!! We received approval for our Church project! The votes were in our favor, 7 to 2.  Some minor changes will have to be made in order to begin construction such as installing brighter lights in the parking lots and planting more flowers around the property. However, the worst is over and God truly was with us during these trials and we are ever thankful to Him for helping us achieve our goal.  We also would like to thank our lawyers, David Watkins and Besim Isik for all of their hard work and patience with us in this project.  We ask you all to pray that the remainder of our project will also go smoothly and steadily towards completion. Thank you and God Bless.
