CONGREGATIONAL VOTE FOR LOAN CONSOLIDATION ECBC currently has two loans with our bank that have been approved by the Congregation; an existing mortgage on our building (balance of approximately $1,900,000) and a construction loan ($2,500,000) on our new Sanctuary. The Ruling Elders and Finance Committee, have approved the consolidation of these two loans into a lower fixed rate loan. Only members are asked to vote. _____ I approve to consolidate these two loans into one new loan.

Behold: to see something significant with appreciation, to have something impressed upon you
(12-26) Behold Your God Exalted—Who is like the Lord? Rhetorical question: a question asked for effect “What do I know of you who spoke me into motion? Where have I even stood but the shore along your ocean?” Addison Road “‘Then there’s never going to be any point in painting here [in Heaven]?’ ‘I don’t say that. When you’ve grown into a Person (it’s all right, we all had to do it) there’ll be some things which you’ll see better than anyone else. One of the things you’ll want to do will be to tell us about them. But not yet. At present your business is to see. Come and see. He is endless. Come and feed.’” C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
(27-31) Behold His Help
