Pavilion project
The idea of building a pavilion at Grace is an idea that had been tossed around over a year and a half ago. After hearing a few people talk about it, we decided to form a committee to explore it's feasibility. After visiting many pavilions in the area and looking at many different options, the committee devised a couple of different plans along with determining the potential cost. Our next step is to gather feedback from the congregation and present that feedback to session during the March 10 meeting. Your feedback is valued, so place take time to leave your feedback here, or with a committee member. There will be members of the committee available for questions and comments following the services on February 17, 24, and March 4.
