Pew Cushions

We are ¾ of the way through our goal for the pew cushion project. We need about $1200 more in order to fully fund the project. The committee hopes to have the project completed and the cushions installed this spring.

If you have been meaning to make a gift to the Pew Cushion Project but have not yet done so, now is the time! The cost is $180 per pew. Of course gifts of any size are much appreciated.
