The Building and Grounds Team has met several times this past summer to work on the final plans and drawings for the walkway replacement project. This is part of the larger plan to update our exteriors. In September of 2022 we saw a new metal roof go on the main Sanctuary building and the 22-year-old office/gathering space addition. Looking to Spring/Summer of 2023, we will be replacing much of the current sidewalks out front, removing steps and stairways, and widening several approaches. The irrigation system will also be replaced, and we will be adding updated, more effective and efficient outdoor lighting and new landscaping. ELC is currently running a 2-year Capital Campaign to raise the needed funds – approximately $250,000. There are several ways to give in support of these projects: online through the Vanco link, in specially marked envelopes located in the Narthex, or simply mail your gift to ELC @ P.O. Box 544, Black River Falls, WI 54615. If you would like to know more about these projects or would like to be a part of the B & G Team, please give Barb Olson-Louis a call @ 608-792-9429.
