​Pew restoration continues. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer until they are finished, we are able to sit in them and worship together! - Larry the Church Pew Fixer!  Thank you Larry.

August 5, 2020 Storm Isaias downs trees and cuts power, but thankfully no damage to the church and only minor damage to headstones!

PASTORAL CARE AND VISITATION
If you are in the hospital or having some health issues and would like a pastoral call, please let me know.  I have no way of knowing unless someone contacts me.  If you would rather not have a call, that is okay  – just let me know.  There are several people in this congregation that make hospital visits, as allowed – thank you!  Again, please let me know when you have visited someone. I appreciate the many ways you as a congregation care for one another, but please communicate with me.  This is good practice so that when your new pastor arrives, he/she will be included in pastoral care
concerns.  God bless, 
 Pastor Nancy  989-430-2185  youngnancy501@gmail.com

  Larry the Church Pew Fixer!  Thank you.

As I strip down the layers of paint
(4 layers) and varnish
I think about 200 years of wear and tear.
All of the people who have sat in these pews
and all they have seen.
When these pews were installed
it was all done by hand .
The wood under the paint is old growth pine , very hard to find today.
The armrests have some kind of finish
that does not come off with chemical strippers. But after hours of scraping
the original beauty comes thru.
With a couple coats of paint and finish
they should stay
Looking good for a few more years.
So I can add my name to the many 
People who have worked on these pews.
Someday they will need some more attention
and someone else will think of the many people who have worked
on these pieces of beauty and workmanship.
Larry Siegrist
