An important housekeeping note: The thermostats that control the heating and air conditioning in the Sanctuary have been set to 70 degrees. The temperature must remain steady year round so as to protect our piano from costly damage caused by fluctuating temperatures in the worship space. Please do not adjust the thermostats at all. Thank you for your cooperation.
