Pastor Melanie Marcus opened the ceremony by proclaiming the church is back and thanked the congregation for its resiliency and faith during the re-building process. "We have gone through our griev- ing and are now ready to move for- ward in our beautiful new home" said Pastor Marcus. The building is beautiful.
