Unitarian Universalist Congregation Building-Expansion Dedication
At our 2006 annual meeting in May, the UUC Congregation approved the construction of a new meeting hall and congregational life space with classrooms on a lower level. On September 7, 2008, the Sunday service was devoted to the building dedication. | |
