Now is the Time

We’ve got so many exciting things going on in this church this coming year! Come hear about our future and where we are going, in our annual launch of the Pledge Drive!

Contractor’s Bid

The Sanctuary Construction Committee finally received a bid from the contractor on Friday, January 20th. Unfortunately, it is $2.7M, substantially higher than the $1.8M we have authorized. Bad news. As was presented at the town hall meeting in January, the principal reasons for the increased bids are inflation and increased requirements from the city. The Committee has met twice now since receiving the bid, and has asked our architect to propose cuts that would bring us closer to our financial…
