Thanks to everyone who has generously supported the capital campaign to renovate our Historic Church. The project is on schedule to be completed in July as planned!
Because we’re nearing the end of construction, all our payments are coming due. We ask those who can to complete their pledge. This will enable the church to reduce the amount we have to borrow for a bridge loan.
For any questions regarding this, please contact Director of Stewardship and Planned Giving Eric Malnassy.

NEW EV CHARGERS
If you have parked in the garage lately, you may have noticed several electric vehicle (EV) chargers being installed to the left as you drive up from the entrance. These were installed by Cruise, the semi-self-driving cars that have been parking on the top two levels of our garage. The new EV chargers are for Cruise vehicles only. Please do not park in these spaces or try to charge your EV with these chargers.
Cruise has installed one charging unit for public EV use. It is located immediately to the right as you enter the garage. Pay through the Shell Recharge app.
Please do not park in any EV space if you are not charging and especially if you do not drive an EV.
