The parishoners gathered together to completly redo and beautify the Sanctuary of Dormition. This was Phase 1: Painting. Everyone pitched in and completed the job in a Saturday! Since then, carpet has been replaced and new single-seat pews have been installed. While we continue to look for a new building to grow into, we are beautifying the Sanctuary we have!
