Ever wonder what the sanctuary looks like disguised as a circus tent? This is it! All surfaces and areas are completely sealed off while asbestos abatement is in process, and building access to abatement areas is completely restricted. This is the last photo we took before being booted out the...
Wow! Many hands make light work! Thanks to everyone who came to our Work Party we were able to move everything out of the office area and sanctuary in advance of asbestos abatement. Thank You!!!
