Please feel free to bring your infants and toddlers to have fun with Niko and Jesse while you are in the sanctuary participating in the service. Kelly Lownds, DRE
Congregational Building & Grounds Meeting
Congregational Building & Grounds Meeting
During our congregational meeting in October, I mentioned that our funds for building and grounds maintenance were nearly depleted. We would like to have a plan to deal with this before we draft our next annual budget.
Eight years ago, the congregation faced several serious concerns about our church building. Our furnace was on its last legs, the office administrator worked in an unheated tower, the roof was leaking, and the new minister needed an office. We created the I Love My Church campaign to address these and other projects.
