Floor Installed

The installation of the new floor on the main level of the church was completed this week. The same flooring will be put down on the stairs and the lower level of the narthex addition soon.

New ceiling tiles and light fixtures in the addition and old narthex are now be installed as well.

Meals available anytime when needed

If you or someone you know is in need of a meal, please take one of the pre-prepared meals from the kitchen freezer at the church. (Note: these meals still need to be cooked so they are not ready to eat when thawed.)

These delicious meals are a gift from David and Andrea Bradley and are meant for anyone who may need them in an emergency or crisis, for pastoral care, or for someone in the community. The need may temporary, such as a family illness, or an ongoing situation where a nice meal would be welcomed. Thank you Bradleys!
