Renovation Updates:
Brick on the West Wall will stay exposed; so many people thought the brick was so beautiful and it was a shame to
cover it all up.
Current Ceiling Fans are not in good working condition and will be replaced with 3 - 52 inch ceiling fans.
We have discovered that the ends of the pews are press board and are not able to be stained; council has decided
to paint the ends black and trace the symbol with a gold accent; the seats will be stained and recovered. We will
be starting that process the week of October 31st; first work session will be October 31st at 6:30 at our storage
unit on route 163; 2nd session will be that week on Thursday, November 3rd at 6:30.
Project is on schedule for completion by end of November.
I personally wish to thank Charlie Scott for handling this large project and all the work he is doing himself.
God Bless,
Tammy Davis
Council President.
