Church Family ❤️
We want to keep you informed about an important situation in our building. We recently discovered that the sewer drain beneath the concrete floors has significantly degraded due to severe rust and corrosion over many years.
It is an older cast iron system that has simply reached the end of its useful life.
Before the bathrooms can be used again, the degraded sewer line must be fully replaced. This work requires cutting into and replacing a large portion of the floor in the Sunday school wing, and the upstairs bathrooms(and likely much of the adjoining rooms) will need to be completely remodeled.
Because of the necessary work and initial cleanup, we had to cancel our midweek service on Wednesday night. We’re thankful that we were able to clean up the dust and debris from the initial work, and we are trusting the Lord as we move forward.
The good news: Sunday services will proceed as usual this Sunday — praise God! 🙌
Practical notes for this Sunday:
🚫 The upstairs restrooms will be out of service during the repairs.
✅ The downstairs restrooms are fully functional and available for use.
🤝 If you have difficulty navigating the stairs, we will have volunteers ready to take you to our Family Life and Outreach Center, where handicap-accessible restrooms will be available.
We understand this is not an ideal long-term solution, and we are praying (and working hard) for the repairs to be completed as quickly as possible, trusting the Lord every step of the way.
To help cover the significant costs of these necessary repairs, we will be receiving a special offering this Sunday. If God places it on your heart to contribute, your generosity will be a huge blessing and will help us return to full functionality as soon as possible.

Thank you for your prayers, patience, and faithfulness. We’re grateful for this Church Family and confident the Lord is caring for every detail.
Can’t wait to see you Sunday morning.

🌟 Church Family, I need to share something important with you. It’s about our beloved building and its foundation... or should I say, what lies beneath? 😬 ...
