Recent Improvements to the Sanctuary and Church House
As a congregation we are grateful for the recent improvements made to the Sanctuary and the Church House. The Sanctuary improvements were funded through The Memorial Fund in using funds given in memory of Rose Bucey Mateika. The Church House improvements were funded through an anonymous gift from a Church Family which wanted to see the fellowship space for our Senior Highs improved. We give thanks to everyone who made these projects become realities through their gifts and service.
