A congregational meeting will be held today immediately following worship. The purpose of the meeting is to vote on a contract to replace the roofs on all three buildings. Please make every effort to attend and have your voice heard.
We will also vote on what funds to use to pay for this capital improvement. Details are available in a handout in the narthex and also in the April newsletter.
