Sanctuary Project Update: The Sanctuary Project Committee has been hard at work evaluating needs, researching various possibilities, and gathering estimates. After presenting their findings to the congregational council, the committee is now finalizing their proposal for a congregational vote. Plan now to attend an informational gathering after worship on Sunday, May 1. This will be your opportunity to hear the background of the project, review the draft proposal, and to ask questions of the committee. There will be a congregational meeting after worship on Sunday, May 22, to vote on the final proposal.
