LCHIP

Although we have been announcing this project on Sundays during worship, here’s a brief reminder that the church is receiving a fresh paint job. Along the way, we are making some repairs to the steeple, and also caring for the facade (such as window trim and shutters). Over the next few weeks, the exterior of the building will be carefully washed, scraped, and painted. Some modest carpentry repairs may also be required. We will remove the attached sign on the front of the church, and replace it with one that is situated near the same site, but is freestanding.

Plans for this project have been in the works for two years. In summer 2021, we submitted a grant application to NH’s Land & Community Heritage Investment Program / LCHIP. It was approved last fall. The church has provided matching funds. After final approval was received in late August from LCHIP, the project could proceed.

Members and friends have also provided in-kind donations of their time to move the project forward. We want to extend special thanks to the Tamarack Construction crew (Mike and Steve Weeder), Guilford Painting, project management by Robert Carper of NH Log Homes and Steve Weeder of Tamarack Construction, and the architectural contributions of Christopher Doktor, AIA, of OL+ Architects & Planners.
