| Parking Lot Update | | As of August 24 the major work on the parking lot has been completed. We are just landscaping around the edges. Now we need patience as we wait a full week for the blacktop to cure. Please do not use the lot until Tuesday, August 30. Thanks for your patience and consideration.
We have also been replacing the wooden louvres in the bell tower and very soon our lovely cast iron railings will be replaced, though we know everyone will miss the 2 X 4's. |

Please join us for this opportunity for reflection and discussion. |
