CHURCH COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS (June)

>          The Smart TV has been delivered and will be installed to replace the projector and screen in the fellowship hall in the fairly near future.

>          We are hoping to have the chairs in the sanctuary reupholstered.  One estimate has been received at a cost of $450 per chair.  We are attaining a few other estimates before we begin this project.

>          We are receiving estimates to replace the flooring in the pastor’s office and in the bathrooms.

>          There have been a number of ideas proposed about the parsonage and needed repairs and maintenance.  A parsonage committee has been developed to spearhead these updates.  If you are interested in helping out or learning what plans are being made, speak to Ken Reisig and he will direct you to the members of the parsonage committee.

OFFICE HOURS
           Pastor Schroeder will be quite limited in his office hours leading up to June 14. Call or text to confirm any meetings with the pastor (248-719-5218).
