You can see the difference—the front of the Church, from the right of the vestibule and all the way around to the atrium doors has been covered in vinyl siding and it looks much cleaner, neater and is now in good repair. In addition to replacing all the rotted and peeling wood, new commercial gutters have been installed (the former gutters were non-commercial grade, household gutters—thus unable to remove and carry the rain wa-ter from the roof). In addition, the old gutters were seamed and were leaking in spots, creating ice build-up in the winter on the walkways and water damage in the rainy season.

The work was performed by the Lee Brown Company and I am very pleased with their attention to detail and their craftsmanship. I cannot write this note without thanking our parishioners who are so faithful to the monthly Repair and Refurbishment Collec-tion—you financial support enables us to make repairs and continue our ongoing maintenance program here in our par-ish. Thank you!
