A NOTE FROM THE DEPT. OF INTERIOR

This important ministry team has been visioning our internal environment for more than a year. The sacred space that we are creating is the result of hours and hours of brainstorming, researching, frugal shopping and creative excitement. Spring is just around the corner, and the Department of Interior is ready! We embrace your suggestions and comments--the building belongs to all of us! With that in mind, we respectfully request that you treat our sacred mission as you do all ministry teams. We are a "work in progress" and ask that you consult a team member when adding, subtracting or rearranging the sacred work that we've planned and executed. Questions? Contact Mary Beth McGuire, Glady McMellor, Pat Healy or Sharon Burrows.
