Flooring in Parsonage and Teacherage
In July the voters resolved to replace the boiler in the parsonage, and also replace the flooring on the main floor in the parsonage as well as the kitchen floor in the teacherage. The boiler has been purchased. With the recent resolution of keeping an emergency fund balance of $2500 in the Building Fund, we are lacking around $3000 to fulfill the resolution to replace a certain amount of flooring in the parsonage and teacherage. The voters ask that you prayerfully consider this in your offerings.
