First Congregational Church of Marion

To the Editor:

The First Congregational Church of Marion has been undergoing major renovations in its Community Center after a massive water leak. This damage and on-going construction work has forced the closing of the Penny Pinchers Exchange. We apologize to the faithful consignees and shoppers at the exchange that have been so supportive of the consignment operation for a span of more than forty years. During this closing, an extensive cleaning has been undertaken and we hope that you will welcome the reopening of Penny Pinchers Exchange sometime in early June. In this downtime, if you have any questions, consignments left in the exchange, or consignment checks to be picked up, please contact the church office at 748-1053. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

David K. Pierce, President

First Congregational Church of Marion

    This just isn’t true! Shame on you! You tossed those sweet women out of the chapel so they can’t run Penny’s anymore. Everyone don’t listen to the serpent. If they reopen it will not be the real Penny’s, the one this sweet people volunteered in for 40 years. This is just so disturbing that a Church can act this way, they gave thousands to the church and it just wasn’t enough!

      I wish one of your reporters would get down to the bottom of this ordeal. The Church has not let the Penny Pinchers saga end. Just last week, 10 months after the hostile take over, the church served 2 CURRENT church members and 2 ex church employees, notices of trespassing. Notice that if they come within yards of the church, parsonage, community center they will be arrested! These people have not done anything wrong. The 2 church members go to church, pay their tithes, and the ex employees have not stepped foot on church grounds since they handed in their keys. What is wrong with the people of this church? And they wonder why they cannot get a minister to come work for them. Curious to know why? As a former church member, someone who was baptisted and attended Sunday School at this church, I shake my head in disgust.
      I understand they are jealous of the success the Penny Pinchers Exchange Inc. But to be so mean….
