Note of Appreciation

On behalf of the congregation, we would like to sincerely thank Tom Kull and Craig Weinrich for their years and years of dedication to the congregation. As of 2025, they no longer hold council positions, which is welcoming to them but let it be known from time to time we may call on their wisdom in an advisory capacity. Thank you gentlemen.
