At our semi-annual meeting, the congregation voted to approve up to $25,000 for rehab on the Parish House. Please look for ways you can add a little extra to your monthly or weekly giving, and mark it for "Building & Grounds" or "Parish House Rehab". We will also be looking at fundraisers. We have members of the congregation who will be doing some of the work themselves to help reduce the cost.
