Construction Update

More progress


Santa Fe Glass installed the new narthex windows this week. The new space now has natural light highlighting what this beautiful addition will actually look like when complete. Finish work around the windows has now begun.


The installation of the new floor in the "old narthex" will be done next week. The same flooring will eventually be installed in the narthex addition as soon as we are sure we have fixed the water intrusion issue.


Ceiling tiles and light fixtures in the new addition should also be installed soon.


We have received a bid for the replacement of the east entrance concrete work and the red door with a true handicap entry.


Sincere thanks again to the many volunteers who have and continue to work on this project. THANK YOU also to the congregation for your patience.

 

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. (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!
