After approximately nine months of working out of the sanctuary Loft, the church office has been (kind of) relocated back to the office wing! This means that staff have desks in place, and computers, telephones, and printers are hooked up. However, we've realized that it will take quite some...
What a gift to celebrate Christmas in our newly refurbished sanctuary! We're not quite done yet, but we're getting closer everyday. And if you're curious- yes, our new sanctuary chairs are sturdy AND comfortable, according to initial feedback. Hope you can try them out for yourself soon!...
