NEED MET - Church Organist Needs Car |

 Request from Vacancy Pastor Jim Bauman, Faith Lutheran Church, Carpentersville, Illinois
The organist of Faith, Carpentersville, who is a single mother with a daughter that has ongoing and severe medical problems, is in need of an automobile. Her present car is in need of repairs too expensive to consider. At present the organist is unable to come to church for services because of lack of transportation. Playing at our church is an important part of a very small total income.
