Building & Grounds Committee
We will be hosting a Work Day in May, but remember we don’t need to wait until then if you’re ready to do some Spring cleaning in and around the church grounds. Lawn care will need to be completed weekly, let Pastor Skip know if you’re able to help out with that. Check with Jo-Ann Williamson to see if there are any garden plots that may need tending. If you need help finding these people, send an email to the church office and we’ll get you in contact!
The CIIC (Church Improvement Investment Committee) has chosen KC Signs to install our brand-new digital sign. Construction will begin in the next few months. This is an artist’s rendering, so colors will be slightly different in person. Go look! There is a post planted in the ground!
