What Does it Mean To Worship God
If you have 10+ acres of timber, we may be able to help! Our local hardwoods are in demand for flooring, furniture, gunstocks, barrels and more! Our Logging crews are certified by Missouri Forest Products Assoc., the Missouri Department of Conservation, and used by Kansas DNR. Our sawmill has been in business since 1948, employing LOCAL people and putting dollars into the LOCAL economy, not shipping US logs and lumber to China. We are glad to provide references, and will come to your property to give you a clear idea of how much your timber could pay, either cash up front or in shares as the harvest progresses. We provide WRITTEN contracts to protect both parties.
How are we to Pray, Preach, Sing, Give, Take Lord’s Supper
Join us on the five Wednesday evenings in July as guest speakers address these topics:
July 1 - Giving
July 22 - Communion
