Each week we will be sharing information about the progress made in our Parish House Renovation here in the newsletter. For more information about the project, click here. Our Lower Hall renovation continues! This week our friends, Wyatt and Stuyve, from Woodcreek Builders poured the first ramp and the new stairs from the bathrooms. They will also be working on plumbing issues in the next several days. Please note: As part of the renovation, we have temporarily closed one of the upstairs bathrooms. Our single restroom is now for people of any gender. It is for one person at a time. The doorknob locks the door.
