A church in Grunthal is taking on a $1 Million project so that it can better serve the community.
Abundant Life Fellowship wants to build a gymnasium so it can expand its day care.  Right now they have room for 36 children and Pastor Dave Neufeld says that puts them at capacity unless they add on.  The church is going to the community to ask for help in raising $250,000 so it can start construction.  Neufeld says a generous donor is willing to put in $100,000 as soon as the first $100,000 has been raised.  The church already has $25,000 from a provincial grant.  Neufeld says on top of needing more day care spaces in Grunthal, there really is no large facility in the community that has a commercial kitchen to host events so this gym would meet that need as well.  The goal is to start construction in June.
