Windows have been inserted into the metal doors on the south side of the sanctuary looking out onto the Pine Tree Patio. This will bring more light into what will become our new Welcome space. While we wait for carpeting, the pews are being sanded and made ready for painting and measurements for new seat pads have been submitted. Our wish list continues to grow and your donations for this project are greatly appreciated. Please clearly indicate your gift is for the Sanctuary Remodel Project.
