There's Still Time to Help Us Get Ready for Opening Day on September 13

Thanks to our generous volunteers, we've made great progress sprucing up the church and our common areas for Opening Day on September 13. Six projects are now complete, and things are looking great around here.

We have four projects still on the list, and we could use a few more hands to finish them. If you are willing and able to pitch in, email Monty Howard at buildings@memorialepiscopal.org. The Opening Day prep team will match you with a specific task and coordinate your access to the church building.

Let's put the finishing touches on our spaces and have everything looking its best for Opening Day.
