With a recommendation from the Trustees, the Deacons during their November meeting approved upgrades for the church nursery, and the Budget & Finance Committee has allocated funds for the project. The nursery carpet is dirty, stained, and the carpet is bubbled in places, creating a tripping hazard. The recommended replacement flooring is Coretec, which is the same type of flooring we currently have in the Gathering Place. In addition to new flooring, some of our church members will give the nursery a fresh coat of paint. The overall estimated cost of the project is $12,000. In accordance with the Church By-Laws, any expenditure over $10,000 requires approval by the church membership. Therefore, a vote on the Nursery Facelift Project will take place following the worship service on Sunday, January 21. Any questions related to the proposed project should be directed to Linda Minor, Chair of Deacons or one of the three Trustees: John Dills, Arlin Middleton, Jim Campbell.
