“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 and ceilings have been painted with the final coat of paint – the baseboard trim, and new rugs. Even though the project isn’t fully completed here are some before and after photos.

Thank you to everyone who has helped in some way to get this project underway. There is still work to complete in the space (i.e. baseboard trim, new rugs, toilets re-seated in the restrooms, etc.)! These pictures are not the final product. Reach out to Marilyn or Julie to find out ways to help finish the work.
Thank you to the generous donors to this project to be able to enhance the church property.
