I have an idea on how to get cash for a building project: borrow it from
someone within the church.  Some individuals in your church may have very
large amounts of money in CD's for their children.  If you can provide them
what they want (a good return on their investment), they just might go for
it.  All you have to do is offer them something like 7% to beat their measly
CD rates of 6%.  Just a thought . . .

Also, bonds could be a great way to build your church.  It's been done long
ago in Kansas; at that time, the building was the largest one in Kansas, and
the only one equipped with air conditioning!

But, *PLEASE*, no more peanut brittle!  I have seen churches selling peanut
brittle for so long that, well, I'll spare you the details about how I feel
about it . . .
