Church Remodeling Update - We are nearing completion of the church remodeling project and would like to provide an update to the church.  First, the Building Committee would like to thank all the volunteers who have selflessly given so many hours of their time to assist with the project along with all who have provided generous financial support.

Although most of the remodeling is completed, the benches (for which delivery dates have been changed several times) are not yet installed. The current estimated date for bench installation is the week of July 17th.  Currently, we are ready to begin the first phase of cleaning. 

We have scheduled cleaning for this coming Tuesday and Wednesday, July 5th and 6th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.   Anyone who is available is invited to help out.  Even if you can only help for an hour or two, you are welcome to help for whatever time you have available.  There will be a lunch provided.  We will also schedule another final cleaning after the benches are installed if you would like to help but are not able to make it on July 5th or 6th.

The basement is being cleaned by Sister Ali Knepp, so there will be no cleaning required there.  However, all Sunday School teachers are requested to take any personal items out of their rooms.
