In the ongoing work of maintaining our church complex, the next project needing attention is painting the exterior of the church (last done in the ‘80s??). Thankfully, a member of Ministerio who owns a painting business is offering a $20,000 quote, greatly reducing the cost. Funds will come from the Building Fund (one of our designated, non-budgetary line items), which currently has $69,000. The work will start Monday, Sept. 9 and hopefully be completed this month before the weather changes. Watch for a new color scheme!
