Text Box: Facilities Improvements Pledge Campaign 
to Begin on February 19

In the one hundred years since the completion of our Sanctuary in 1912, this beautiful Church building has seen a lot of use and undergone many improvements. The Case building has also served us well but is now 77 years old. It is now time to address some urgent improvements. To that end, an all congregation pledge campaign will be conducted in the near future. To learn more about the condition of this historic building, three improvements that are urgently needed, and the campaign to fund these needs, the Congregation is invited to an informational luncheon on Sunday, February 19, following the 11:00 a.m. service. No reservations are necessary.
