During the first meeting of the new Church Year, our Parish Council began the process of addressing some of the needed repairs to our church building. Several critical issues must be addressed: our front porch and stairs, the nave windows and the carpet. We, of course, will not be addressing all of these together but have begun the planning process. All future work will only be done after receiving three bids. A part of the process is also looking at our finances and determining how much we should do. We will attempt to keep everyone informed about our progress. I thank the Council for their work.
