150th Renovations

150th Family Legacy Opportunities

Now that we are open again, we are very thankful to our generous parishioners who have helped make our 150th renovation a reality. We have been blessed to have many liturgical items donated by families from our parish,such as new altar, baptismal font, presider chair and pulpit.

Tiny little gold stars will adorn the blue ceiling to give it a "sky" effect. Other new stencils also added to the bottom and top of the new green walls.

More colors and detail around the stenciling has been taking place this past week. Main body of the church painting just about done! Stencil work, adding new and cleaning old, will be the bulk of the work over next few weeks.

And God said "Let there be light!" "And color!" New LED lights illumine the painted blue colored ceiling panels of the church.

Side beams have been painted to resemble wooden beams, which allows the existing stencil to be seen clearly
