Changes at the Worship Center
Some of you may have noticed that the invitation to our meetings now directs you to 12 Britton St., Chicopee, MA, where once it said 18 Hartford St., South Hadley, MA. Well, we haven't really moved.
Our house of prayer is located right on the border of the two cities. The building is on the South Hadley side, but the parking lot is in Chicopee. At first, we were using the South Hadley address, because, officially, it was the correct one. Recently, however, Pastor Eldon McNabb requested a street number from Chicopee, so that we could direct people to the more widely known Britton Street. They gave us, fittingly, the number 12. Anyone looking for us at 18 Hartford St. will still find us, and our mailing address (16 Hartford St., South Hadley, MA 01075) has not changed.
Pastor McNabb has done a number of projects around the building and his tireless efforts are greatly appreciated. Curbings, landscaping, plastering, flag-pole bases, and many other projects have been completed, greatly beautifying the property.
Most recently, God, by a dream Bro. Larry Danko had, showed us that the brick foundation of the attached house (which will soon be remodeled to accommodate offices and classrooms) was in dire need of repair. Upon inspection, we found that the mortar had deteriorated to the point that quite a few of the bricks could be easily lifted out by hand. Bro. McNabb realized the need and did the repairs himself. This is not the first time that he has taken it upon himself to do the necessary work around the building, and we are thankful for his expertise, ability and willingness to do these needed tasks.

| Our new sign directs all passersby to our Worship Center both by day and night. |
Bros. David and Richard McNabb both work for Agnoli Sign Co. in Springfield, MA. Because of this, we recently were able to purchase a new sign for our church. The 3' X 6' double-faced, illuminated sign rests on a brick pedestal made by Pastor Eldon, and directs all passersby to our place of worship both day and night. Our thanks to the many hands that facilitated this beautiful, much-needed marker.
The sign also contains the new name of our worship center: Source of Light Tabernacle. We thank God for His guidance in the naming of our house of prayer, as He dealt with various members of our congregation as to His will.
And so it goes. The Bible says, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." (Eccl. 9:10) These are words to live by. No matter what God gives you to do, put everything into it. God bless you in your labors for Him.
