Fundraiser: Door Repairs and Replacement

GOAL: $12,990 | RAISED: $6970 NEW DOORS: You may have noticed that we have new exterior doors under the carport. This was a necessary repair as the old doors were rusting through and had major maintenance issues. In addition, we’ve had some repairs done on the interior doors. The total cost is $12,990.00. If there is any way you could contribute to help cover this expense, it would be greatly appreciated. You can simply mark your donation with “Doors” and drop it in the offering on Sunday morning or make an online contribution.
NEW KEYS: New doors means that we have new keys for our main entry. If you have an old key and need a replacement, please contact Kim ASAP. In addition, we’ll still collect the old keys, so if you have one, please leave it on Kim’s desk.
