Pull in the first drive, right next to the Hollingsworth apartments.Park on that side. There's a children's playground there, so you can't miss it. If you go in the North entrance, just drive around the building and come to the other side. We'll have the front double doors open (facing the lake). We owe Dan Blanchard a big thanks for helping make arrangements with the church. If you have any questions, or get lost, call Cindy's cell phone 863-255-5256. Visitors are always welcome.
