Upcoming Exterior Facility Repairs |
|
Some major repairs to the exterior of our church facility have been recommended by the Building & Facilities Committee and approved by Session. This exciting work includes: repair of the exterior wood trim (including the steeple) and gutters, painting of the exterior trim and doors, and replacement of the shingle roofing. Bids were obtained and contracts awarded for execution of this work which is scheduled to begin in November. It is expected to be complete before year-end, weather-permitting.
This exciting work is necessary to properly maintain our church facility in order to continue to provide the beautiful place of worship and outreach that we are so blessed to have. Thank you for your support and please keep the safety of the contractors that will be performing this work in your prayers.
