A Major Project is Almost Complete

by

Over the past few years, our Parish Center’s third floor had a makeover. We are happy to report that three offices, a counting room, a kitchen, a bathroom, the Parish Conference room, two stairwells, two hallways, and the library, are all freshly painted.
We had a combination of professional painters and volunteers work on our third floor project. Thank you to our volunteers: Nancy Leizear, Rick Waterhouse, Karen Schaeffer, Phyllis Doyle, Joanne Veater, and three local NA members.
Once a few minor projects are completed, we intend to have an open house to reintroduce the parish to our 3rd floor parish offices!
Pictured is our library, the last room to be finished. Generous parishioners donated the following to our library:
  • Ken & Mary Blomquist donated an antique glass front bookcase and a side table.
  • Linda & Larry Gibeck gave an antique oak meeting table and two chairs. Linda refinished the table and a desk (not pictured).
  • Bob & Phyllis Doyle gave four wooden chairs.
The library is open during office hours (Monday-Friday; 9-12:30PM). It is now equipped with internet access for church history research. We welcome parishioners to use this area for reading and research.

A Beautiful Sanctuary

by

In an effort to maintain our churchyard as a beautiful sanctuary, the following was accomplished this spring:
  • Robert Mosko, a professional cemetery restorer, straightened and repaired a number of historic gravestones. He also led a workshop to teach us how to continue the work.
  • Rob Crouch and his son, Coale, donated an urn and planted flowers in the recently restored cradle planter gravestone near the church and vestry house.
  • Larry and Linda Gibeck donated and planted two red rose bushes, in memory of Gertrude Gibeck, near our churchyard entrance.
  • The Garden Committee (Sandy Taylor, Linda Gibeck and Vickie Schultheiss) continue to donate and plant flowers, and weed our flower beds.
  • Permanent signage that welcomes visitors and stipulates a few gentle reminders are being created and will be in place this summer.
  • Gary and Jane Crouch donated an American flag for the churchyard flagpole. It replaces the one that was stolen last week.
Thank you for your commitment
to our preservation efforts
