Many thanks to everyone who donated to our congregation’s “R & R Fund,” the Restoration and Rehabilitation Fund for our main church building’s siding. Through your generosity we have been able to raise $20,000 so far to go towards this project. In addition, the Trustees have already paid for the restoration of the four beautiful sanctuary windows, at a cost of over $40,000. They look great! As you know, we also applied for Community Preservation Act funds and were approved by the Town of Yarmouth for up to $325,000. This is a major boost to our project. We are getting close now to starting this work, which includes replacing the damaged front doors to our sanctuary.
The total cost of all this work was always above $325,000, so we thought we would see if anyone who hasn’t contributed to this initiative through the R&R Fund, or if anyone would like to make an additional donation, be able to do so now. Every gift, of any size, makes a difference! Checks can be made out to “SYUMC” and marked for the SYUMC R&R Fund. Donations may be placed in the offering plate, mailed in, or given to Wendy in the church office.
Thank you all for your generosity. It will be exciting to see the transformation of the outside of our sanctuary and Parish Hall due to everyone’s efforts.
