Cottage Update


The Cottage is back up and running! The heating system has been repaired, and everything is good as new! If you have a meeting scheduled in the cottage, you are all set to return there.


Thank you for your patience as Carolina Heating addressed the issues with the climate control system, and for the flexibility of the committees and ministries that moved their meetings while the work was being done.
