Upper Lake Church Rededicated
The Upper Lake Church was
rededicated November 6 after
being completely remodeled by
the members. Conference Presi-
dent Helmuth Retzer was
speaker for the special service.
Focal point of the sanctuary
is now the beautiful stained-
glass window depicting an open
Bible. The multicolored work of
art was designed by Pastor
Keith Knoche and created by
Don Pifer, one of the 116 Up-
per Lake Church members.
Other features of the church
include new carpeting, newly-
finished and upholstered pews
and a new baptistry.
The church was first dedicat-
dedication service 30 years ago.

Leoni Meadows Update
Materials are being transported to the Leoni Meadows
site to construct the first of two rest rooms to serve the Retreat
—the one for the recreation vehicle area. The second will be
Pipes for the underground sewage system are also on
the grounds. Work on these projects will now move ahead
It looks as if work can begin soon on the widening of
Caldor Road—after many delays and much red tape. The
County has been securing property rights for this.
Plans are being submitted for the construction of the
dining complex and the caretakers home.
As the end of 1976 approaches, perhaps many are
thinking of making donations to special projects. Why not
give something extra to Leoni Meadows? As God's blessings
are remembered, could not many of us make thank offerings
to Him through this project that is going to serve the needs
of the constituency of Northern? May God bless each of us
as we think of our commitment to Him and what He enables
Please remember the One Percent Plan. The year 1977
could get off to a wonderful start for Leoni Meadows if every
family in Northern would make a decision to commit one
percent of its income to the building of this new retreat center.
