Summer projects

Summer projects

The walls have been prepped, and painting starts in the narthex on Monday and may take up to two weeks. The painter assures us that the narthex and office will be accessible throughout (except while the office is painted, at the end) but please be careful of ladders, drop cloths, cans of paint, and other equipment if you are visiting the church during the week.

new sacristy carpet

And the sacristy has a new carpet! The old one was worn through and a trip hazard, so replacement was essential for safety.
