Plaster Repair Fund
As Charles Dixon shared in his Leadership Board Report to the congregation, we had a large, unanticipated expense for plaster repair, much of it resulting from roof work and leaks over the years. The total project expense was $24,900. In response to the need, members of the Leadership Board have contributed $11,295.
Now we need your help with the remaining amount.
Please consider making a special donation to this project. You can give by check or online, please make sure your giving is designated to plaster repair.
Your giving to this project will help to ensure that our facilities are here for the St John church family and our visiting community for years to come.
