"Economical, Practical, Roomy and Comfortable. I wouldn't be in church tonight if it wasn't for it. It's nice being chauffeured."

The church bought a silver, nine-passenger 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine for $1,700 from a used limo dealer, and it only has 37,000 miles on it. According to some of the elderly passengers who are picked up at their homes and taken to church in it, it is "comfortable and very roomy."
Mildred Atkinson, 87, said she appreciates the church's efforts. "I wouldn't be in church tonight if it wasn't for it," she said. "It's nice being chauffeured."
