“Wish List” – Lower-Level Update

The first and second items were completed this past week. The flooring in the lower level (non-carpeted areas and excluding the clothing closet hallway) was updated to a commercial grade polyurea flooring, and the walls have been painted with one coat of paint – the second coat still needs to be completed as well as baseboard trim, and new rugs. Even though the project isn’t fully completed here are some before and after photos.

Thank you to the generous donors to this project to be able to enhance the church property.

The before to after in pictures…

Please direct all prayer requests, address changes, and phone number changes to the church office any time during the week. You may email the church office at office@allsaintsdavenport.org, text 563.949.6440, or call 563.359.9516 and leave a message.

Are there other items you would like to see in the church’s publications? This could be events you are involved with, theater shows, concerts, et cetera.

Do you have an announcement or article that you would like included in future publications?

Please submit announcements or articles to the office by 8 am on Mondays so the Director of Communications can plan their work week (remember they don’t have set office hours).

From the Director of Music Ministries

Do you play an instrument or sing? Would you like to help lead all or part of worship on Sunday morning? If so, contact the church’s Director of Music Ministries, Matt, or the church office (office@allsaintsdavenport.org).
