Daughters of the King Collecting Winter Clothes for Respond Now
Throughout the fall the Daughters of the King will be collecting winter clothes. Please bring clean, lightly used coats, mittens, hats or other winter clothing. The clothes will be donated to Respond Now to be given to folks trying to keep warm this coming winter. Look for the collection table in the undercroft. Clothing will be collected through early November.

Much of the preliminary work necessary for the installation of the lift has been completed. Next week the construction of the shaft itself and access doorways will begin. Photos of the ongoing work are posted in the undercroft.
