HARLEYSVILLE, Pa.—The Salford (Pa.) Mennonite Church completed a major remodeling and expansion of its facilities.

While the congregation still holds a mortgage from the project, members decided it was now time to follow through on their commitment.

The congregation agreed to donate a portion of the campaign goal of $3.3 million toward church buildings for congregations with fewer resources.

In January, the congregation sent $9,000 to its sister church in Mexico City, Dios Con Nosotros, and $24,000 to Mennonite World Conference for its Global Church Sharing Fund Jubilee Account, designated for churches around the globe that need assistance with worship facilities.—Mennonite World Conference
