I am enjoying my time in the new church building. The more time I spend there the more I appreciate what a great thing we accomplished. There are so many beautiful parts of the building and I appreciate all (your) attention to detail the more time I spend there. You all did a great job. There are so many things I like about it that I cannot name them all. Well done.
