Volunteer(s): Murray Saul

Skill Set (for future consideration): Have sheet sander, able to sand...

Notes:
Murray wanted to improve look of church entrance (which also included painting trim, and painting hand-rails). He asked and got permission from property facilitator to start work. So far he has averaged work on doors Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 11:15 am and 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Murray started in summer due to good weather, but is returning from summer vacation to work in September. Volunteers no longer required! Project is finished!

Additional Notes:

Church doors will have a lighter appearance to foster newer, more welcoming appearance... In addition to door refinishing, door and stain glass window trim painted, iron railing painted, and rust stains to be removed... Church doors look better "in person" as opposed to picture displayed (due to use of flash)... To read about Murray's thoughts and reflections during this project, click the "discussion" tab at the top of this WIKI...
