We have invested over $50,000 in capital improvements to keep the church building safe and dry in the last few years. Now that we are back to using the property and building on a regular basis, we are experiencing an unfortunate run of failing equipment. Therefore, additional capital funding is needed to cover these expenses.
The current capital need is $23,000. This will cover the cost of replacing the 7.5-ton air conditioner for the greater office area (Barb's and the pastor's office, the parlor and the Narthex), and the 5-ton air conditioner that is in the attic above the balcony that keeps us cool in the summer. One of the two units in the attic was replaced a few years ago but the second one in the attic is no longer working. These units are over 20-years old and/or use a refrigerant that is no longer available.
If you feel called to contribute any amount as a capital gift, please designate "Property and Building" on the envelope. The generosity of Northminster congregants has always been impressive. Thank you for enabling us to do as much as we have done to maintain the church building for our worship experience.
