On March 30, 2008, they had their first church service in the new building. What a day of celebration that was!! It was so exciting to see how God had answered so many prayers and they looked forward with great anticipation to what God was going to do in the future.
On April 2, 2008, (just 3 days after the first service in the church building) the Lord called Larry home.
