A “Commitment” plan to finance the new church was organized. The members and individuals
committed themselves to a definite amount to be given either weekly, monthly or quarterly. This plan
received an excellent response far above what was anticipated. The (Dorcas Class) Circle 1 committed
themselves to $100 per quarter. The first organized group of the church to do so.
A special meeting of the congregation was called to make a change in the building plans of the
new church. The plans called for (and had been voted accepted as were) a single chancel. The majority
of the congregation wanted this changed to a divided chancel which was decided on. A definite decision
was made to use the old pews and get additional ones for the new church. The Trustees contacted the
Shenandoah Realty Company to offer the church and parsonage for sale.
On February 28, 1965, the Pollyanna Class and Circle 2 of the WSWS presented a candle lighter
to the church in honor of Mrs. John E. Helbert (Darrell).
On April 21, 1965, George Fulk, son of Dr. and Mrs. Floyd L. Fulk, was elected
