Dear Franconia Family, We wanted to make you aware that construction has now begun to update our drainage system. These vital improvements will address the church’s continued flooding issues. Construction will be done in three phases over multiple weeks.  We apologize for the disruption to the parking lot. For now, please make use of the back parking lot when needed. Later, the project construction will shift to the back.  At that time we will ask you to park in the front. We thank you…
