Renovation: St. Alban's
Sacred Space
We will have a special service of Blessing and Dedication for the main church on Sunday, September 21, during the 10:00 am service. We were so blessed with the original bequest by Hazel Ross and by gifts from many members of the congregation-- we give thanks for each and everyone who supported us through prayer and through giving. All of those involved in the renovation of this sacred space are invited to this special service and we hope you will come, too!
If you would like to contribute to this great work, you can fill out our safe and simple e-finance form and direct your gift to Sacred Space, or you can mail your gift directly to St. Alban's.
Thank you and God bless you all.
