Capital Campaign Launched

The trustees would like to announce that we are beginning a capital campaign to raise ten thousand dollars for tuck-pointing of the church exterior.

Many of you might have noticed the peeling and crumbling plaster around the church. We have discovered that the church needs tuck-pointing. We were able to get one section done last year and that section of the interior has stayed dry. Once this project is complete we can start to think about beautification of the interior spaces.

Our goal is to raise ten thousand dollars in order to complete the project and protect the integrity of the building. I am always amazed at what great things we can accomplish together and I look forward to getting the repairs done soon. Please donate what you can and mark it for "tuck pointing". One donation or several over time it does not matter as every one will get us closer to our goal.

Over the last several years we have made some wonderful improvements to the building. We have repaired two major stained glass windows,replaced the roof, replaced the sanctuary carpet, renovated the downstairs men's restroom, painted fellowship hall, covered the parking lot entrance stairs, upgraded the air compressor units for the air conditioning, painted the exterior gym windows, added an office space for the preschool and associate pastor, and most recently renovated the pastor and secretary's office space. These are only the large projects. There were many many smaller projects completed and I promise exciting things to come in the future.

This has all been made possible by the generosity of each one of you and we are privileged to be entrusted by you to care for this beautiful and historic building. Thank you all for taking such good care of our church.
