There is painting to still be completed in the overflow area and the lower walls in the main sanctuary. Carpet will be laid in the middle of January. If you have any comments regarding what has been completed and/or suggestions for the next phase, please talk with one of the Refresh Committee members: Debi Anderson, Bill Chambers, Donna Durbin, Jeff Hintzman, or Peter Klammer.
