June 9 Announcements

Sanctuary Project – Help Needed!: Following the approval by the congregation in May, the sanctuary update project will get started later this month. The first task will be removing the ceiling and other demolition that is necessary for the project. This will begin the week after Father’s Day. While some items can be removed from the sanctuary in advance, most of the removal will take place after worship on June 19. Please plan to stay and help with this “all hands on deck” effort.

Sanctuary Project Donations: Thank you to all those who have made a gift or pledge towards the cost of the sanctuary update. We still need to raise approximately $18,000 to complete the project. If you have not yet had a chance to contribute to this much needed effort, please consider making a donation. Every gift makes a difference!
