Board Activities

New Carpeting!

New Carpeting!

As you’ve read in weeks past, the Board of Trustees is looking to replace the carpet in the Preschool hallway, Fellowship hall and Pastor’s office. We will be replacing it with a commercial grade, stain resistant/treated carpet. However, we are also exploring other options, such as laminate, or treating the concrete below the existing carpet. The bids we’ve received so far tell us that this process will cost the church around $7,000. Although we have enough funds in the Capital Campaign Fund to fully cover this cost, the Trustees prefer not to deplete the account completely in case of emergencies. We would like to raise money to help offset this cost. As of now, there is $1,570 in this special account. Thank you to those who have donated so far! If you would like to contribute to this account, special flooring fund envelopes can be found in the back of the Church Sanctuary.

District/ Synod News

 

 Items & articles for the next months newsletter need to be submitted to the church office by the third Sunday of the proceeding month.
