You may have noticed the recently built fence and newly installed walkway on the church’s grass lot. Both of these improvements were made possible with funding from a Healthy Neighborhoods grant. Our friends at the Southeast Community Development Corporation were instrumental in helping Abbott to secure the grants, and we are grateful for their assistance, especially that of Chris Ryer and Kari Snyder.

During the storms, snow piled up on the gymnasium roof and blocked off two of its drains. As the snow melted, it found its way down the gym wall, covered the floor with water, and then continued down the walls in Rooms 7 and 8. It damaged the wall, the floor, several pairs of curtains, took out part of the new ceiling , ruined the piano and a wooden bookcase filled with Bibles and hymnals. Fortunately, some men from the church were able to clear the drains and prevent the water from causing more damage.
