Parsonage Bathroom Repair Begins Monday, June 8th

Repair work on the parsonage bathroom will start on Monday, June 8th. The plan is to remove water damaged sections of the floor and walls and replace the tub, light fixture, electric wall heater, and ceiling exhaust fan.

The tub will be replaced by a fiberglass tub/shower kit. Wall paneling will be replaced with ceramic tile. Vinyl flooring covering will be used throughout. A curved shower rod will be installed and the toilet float valve and hoses will be replaced.

All of the labor will be provided by volunteers. Jed Kappus, owner of Carlson's Plumbing, has donated his time for the technical aspects of the project. Patrick Adams, church treasurer, is coordinating the project.

Project costs will be determined after the tub and damaged floor and wall sections have been removed. Donations will be used to pay for the materials. A special fund has been created to keep track of the expenses and donations. Reserve funds will be used to cover costs that are not met by donations.

Please contact Patrick Adams if you would like to volunteer your labor and/or make a donation.

Sewer Repair Update

The new sewer line is now in place. Jed removed the old fiber and pitch pipe and replaced it with a 4-inch SDR pipe.  He also re-graveled the parking area. The city road will be patched as soon as asphalt becomes available in the next couple of weeks.

Sewer Repair Begins Wednesday

The sewer line repair project will begin on Wednesday, April 1st. A trench will run from the sewer cleanout, located next to the basement door, to the city's sewer main across the street. The goal is to complete the project on Thursday. During this time the restrooms and the kitchen will be closed.

Message from the church council treasurer

Patrick Adams here. I'm your new council treasurer. I've had a couple of months to familiarize myself with the church finances. Our books have been loaded into the latest version of Quicken. I'll use Quicken to track our income and expenses, maintain the budget, generate reports, and reconcile our check book. I've also learned how to use our bank's website for paying bills and making deposits.

Please me know if you would like a copy of the 2015 budget that was passed at the annual meeting.

The 2015 GLP Church Directory is now available. Hard copies will be available in the narthex at St. Johns. Let me know if you would like a .pdf version. If you have any additions or corrections please email them to me.

If you have any questions about the church finances please feel free to send me an email or text message or give me a call. You can also stop by my house but be warned I may put you to work in the garden.

Peace,

Patrick
