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 the past two years:
– The exterior of the sanctuary has been painted!
– We have new carpeting.
– We have new pew cushions -- well crafted and durable looking.
– Currently six of 11 stained glass windows have been rebuilt, with the remainder to be done in sequence.
– The steeple and bell tower have been repaired and repainted.
– The new church sign in front of the church is now a year old.
– The church sign in the alley facing the tracks has been updated.
– The Sanctuary ceiling is being repaired and given a new tile-like covering.
