Our Historic Church
Our church building was built in the 1870s and will always need periodic maintenance and repairs. For example, stained glass windows, steeple resurfacing and bell tower restoration, replacement of faded signs outside of the church. Gifts to support these efforts may be placed in the Jehoash Box in the Buffet Room or in the offering plate with a memo indicating "Building Fund."
We thank God for these upgrades in recent years:
– Eight of the 11 stained glass windows have been rebuilt to correct slippage, and the remaining three will be done in time.
– The Sanctuary plaster walls have been patched and painted.
– The Sanctuary ceiling has a subtle, new tile-like covering.
– The exterior of the Sanctuary has been painted.
– We have new carpeting.
– We have new pew cushions -- well crafted and durable looking.
– The steeple and bell tower have been repaired and repainted.
– The church signs have been updated in front of the church and in the alley facing the tracks.
