For over a year, the Executive Committee has been talking about resurfacing the front steps making the entrance to our church attractive and functional. Andy Ohotnicky has been researching options, providing us with sample materials and talking with contractors for what seems like forever. Finally, the board made a decision and authorized Andy to proceed. He has dutifully coordinated the project with several contractors and the results speak for themselves. The new slate steps and carpeted landing look fantastic and make such a positive impression on anyone entering the church. The congregation and visitors to our church are forever grateful. Thanks so much Andy for persevering with the board’s indecision for months. Andy also coordinated the refurbishment of the church office. Check that out too! Comments are closed.
