Historic St. Andrew’s received a wakeup call from above when part of the ceiling fell down, signalling the urgent need for repair. But the ceiling is just the first stage. Next follows roof, windows, exterior stone and kitchen.
To cover the cost of this work, the congregation continues to receive donations from members and to raise funds through special events such as the Dinner Auction.
