Pew Repair and Refinishing It has become obvious, following the pandemic, that all the cleaning and sanitizing of the pews in our beautiful church has taken a toll. They have darkened in color and many are sticky to the touch. The pews need both repairing and refinishing. We also need to adjust and repair the kneelers to make them more comfortable and accommodating. The lowest bid was nearly $100,000 from a firm in Tennessee. An anonymous donor has generously pledged to match any gift given for this project, dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000. The pews would be disassembled. They, then, will be taken in two stages, so as not to disrupt the operation of the church. When the first batch is done and reinstalled, the second batch will be done. The project will begin soon after Easter and finished this summer. If you are able, please participate. Our beautiful church is worth it.
