AUMC Steeple Repairs
During the recent storms the AUMC church steeple was struck by lightning. Professional assessment of the damage and stability of the structure is currently underway. During the next few months there will be varying stages of repair and replacement. Please bear with us as we undertake this major task. The Trustees' objective is to restore the steeple to its' original stately presence within the Aledo community.
