Thanks to all who helped clear the Sanctuary of Bibles, Hymnals, furniture, and pew pads. We did it in record time! It is an exciting time as we freshen up the Sanctuary. The contractors are working hard on the demolition! If you would like to donate toward our "Wish List" for the extras needed to finish the project, please mark your donation for the Sanctuary project. Blessings, Jeanne Manning
