BUCK$ for BRICK$ - The front of our church that faces Hanover Ave. is in need of repointing of the brick with new mortar. Once that is done, the interior walls and insulation of the west narthex will need to be redone and painted. Wind and rain have eroded the mortar causing leakage and water damage to the interior walls. How can you help? You can 'sponsor bricks' for $25. For every $25 you donate, your name will go on our 'brick wall' to thank you and your family for contributing and helping. Even during these tough economic times, we still need to take care of the Lord's House. Won't you please consider sponsoring a brick(s) and helping us to recover the cost of this much needed maintenance? Simply put your donation in a pink designated envelope and mark it 'Bucks for Bricks' OR contribute by using the green Major Maintenance envelopes and marking it "Bucks for Bricks". Thank you and look for your name on our brick wall!
