April is Volunteer Month!
On Friday, April 19th, 2024, we were joined by a team of 10 volunteers led by Craig Olbrich from Hewlett-Packard in Corvallis. Apex Property Clearing & Recycling LLC provided a trailer for demolition debris. The crew worked four hours, and it was amazing!
History was made on Wednesday, April 27, 2023. With a fresh coat of paint and new hand-cut cedar shingles, the steeple was raised to its original spot atop the Cumberland. This truly historic event wouldn't have been possible if not for YOU!
Gary Goby inspects details of the gable. His donation of talent and time included duplicating details and supplying materials.
After many days of cleaning, priming, and painting by volunteers, the details speak for themselves.
TGC Structural mounts the cupola to the steeple, which itself was mounted the day before.
