Construction Update

Making progress


A new roof has been installed over the narthex addition and the north side of the church. No more roof leaks!


If weather cooperates, Santa Fe Glass will be installing the new narthex windows next week. Be prepared for a big change in the look of the new narthex inside and out.


We are also preparing for the installation of the new floor. The carpet in the existing narthex and hallway has been removed and the underlayment patched and leveled. Please don't walk on the floor in the narthex addition and watch for repair spots in the "old" narthex this Sunday.


We continue to work on foundation repair for the narthex addition to prevent water seepage from rain, as well as investigate possible changes to the lower east entrance to eliminate future water intrusion.


Sincere thanks to the host of volunteers who have and continue to work on this project. We are making progress!

 

New Freezer Meals Ministry

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.


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!
