I realize that I noted in the last newsletter that I would have items of concern for the updating of the kitchen in the parsonage. Though I do not have dollar figures to request, I do know that we want to paint the cabinets, replace the backsplash, and update the counter tops. We could use some volunteers that would help prepare the cabinets for painting. Usually, volunteers are waiting to be asked–if that is true as you are reading this request, please call Marietta at 314-420-2202 or see her on Sunday morning before or after morning worship.

We did have the stained glass windows of our church inspected by a representative from Associated Crafts, Willet Hauser Architectural Glass Inc., Winona, MN. He assured us that the windows are in very good condition. On the outside, however, there are repairs needed. The windows were installed beginning in the 1970s. One issue is that the glazing is crumbling. We are waiting for the proposal for repairs.
