Enter the above coordinates and will take you to a place of business. This was the coffee house like gathering of a few believers in the early 1970's. Keep your 'eye' open for this 'sight' then you may continue on your quest. (Answer Question #1)

Now go to the next building in which they met

Take the last 3 digits of the initial West coordinates, subtract the last 3 digits of the initial North coordinates. Take that number add 4 and this will be the last 2 digits of the next locations North Coordinates

N 41 35.0 _ _
W 85 49.723

You should be on the south side of the building. They met there for 21 years until they outgrew the building. For the next coordinates add the last three digits of the above north and west coordinates then add the last two digits of the street address. From this total add another 10. With this total, take those 3 digits as the last digits of your W coordinates. (Answer Question #2)

N 41 33.549
W 85 47. _ _ _

Welcome to the site of the next church building. Does it look like a familiar building that you would see around the country? If during normal business hours poke your head inside and greet the receptionist. If you wish, return on a Sunday. (Answer Question #3)

You will now need to again determine the last 3 digits of the West coordinates. You will use the following--

The name of the church has three words in its name.
Find a numerical value for each word by using this--A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4 etc. Attach a numerical value to each word. For example if the word was "Add" the value would be 9. 1+4+4=9. Take the first word's value subtract the second's value and add the third's value then subtract 8 from that sum.

Value of first word
minus
Value of the Second Word
plus
Value of the third word
minus
8
equals _ _

Take the above sum and subtract that from the last 3 digits of the West coordinates that directed you to this location.

N 41 33.616
W 85 47._ _ _
