Two furnaces click off as Christmas approaches at Mountain View

Readers,

This today from Troy Kehm-Goins, Mountain View Lutheran Church of Edgewood:

Disciples, members, and friends of Mountain View Lutheran Church:

I am writing to you from the frigid wasteland that the Fellowship Hall and church office have become. Okay, it's not quite that bad, but we are currently operating without the two rooftop furnaces, which means no heat in the the aforementioned spaces.

In other words, I suggest that (as all good residents of the Pacific Northwest are accustomed) you wear layers of clothing when you attend the Advent midweek soup and bread dinner and Advent midweek worship tomorrow evening. And, even though the temperature in the Fellowship Hall is likely to be in the lower to mid 60s tomorrow night*, Pastor John says, "The Sanctuary is heated, so no excuses!" In other other words, you still need to be here to hear the message of how "Hope Leans Toward a New Future."

Thank you to Dave Cherpeske and other members of the Property Ministry Group as they organize the replacement of the rooftop furnaces, one of which is completely done and the other which is limping toward its demise. The work will likely take place two or three weeks from now, as the replacement units are being built as you read this.

Thank you also to the various members who have brought space heaters up to the church. We are putting them to good use!

*Who knew that I would be forecasting weather for locations on the church campus at some point?
