The Church Extension Fund of the Michigan District has been blessed with another year of healthy growth and has sent our church a mortgage rebate check in the amount of $636.51.  This shared blessing is just one of the ways CEF partners with churches and ministries throughout Michigan to help them carry out the Great Commission. If you have investment funds, please check out the favorable rates that CEF has before you invest somewhere else.  The greatest benefit to you is that your investments are supporting churches carrying out evangelism for Christ.  If you have any questions, please see our CEF congregational representative, Dale R.
