One week later, and the back yard is ready for the green grass to start growing.
We may joke about a pool being dug in the Laughrun House yard, but that’s how construction projects go: Nothing quite goes according to plan and unexpected expenses come up. We’re diving right in, though, because we feel strongly that this necessary work, God’s work, for our church and we’re going to do it right. Please help however you can.
You’ve heard the phrase Measure twice, cut once. (And the female variation: Cook once, eat twice.) Well, the New Life campaign actively espouses both philosophies: We have measured what we needed, measured what we’re receiving, added an extra cup of hope and faith, and a pinch or two of yeast to stretch what we’ve got. We’re going to do these renovations I once and we’ll enjoy them for years to come. Now is the time to step up.
The Building and Grounds Committee has been working its tail off to trim extra expenses and economize… and has re-adjusted our projected expenses to $300,000. (This took days of back-and-forth and difficult decisions.) Even with these adjustments, we still need additional (or enlarged) pledges to make it.
If you would like information/pledge-cards/envelopes sent to you, please call or email the church .

| You'll notice there is a new door cut into the left side of the wall which was not there before. Surprise! But now the Fire Marshal is happy. |
