Dear Franklin UMC members and friends,
The end is in sight! After months of steady work, faithful generosity, and a whole lot of determination, Phase III is nearing completion. As we enter the final stretch, we’re inviting volunteers to help us finish strong.
To save on cost—and to keep our momentum going—we’re gathering a small team of skilled and willing helpers for the last set of projects. Whether you have experience in these areas, you “know a person,” or you simply have the willingness to learn and lend a hand, your help would make a meaningful difference. Together, we can finish painting, install new floors and lights, and refresh our landscaping before the space fully opens.
We specifically need help with:
- Painting: Walls and ceilings throughout the lower level, new addition, and main-level multi‑use rooms.
- Epoxy Floor Work: Cleaning the concrete floor in the lower level and applying the epoxy coating.
- Hardwood Flooring: Installing new hardwood in the church office and feathering in new flooring over patched areas in the main-level multi‑use rooms and hallway.
- Tile/Stone Installation: Setting new tile/stone in the ground‑level and lower‑level entryways.
- Lighting: Installing new lights in the main‑level classrooms (licensed electrician needed).
- Trim, Bush Removal, and Landscaping: Trimming and removing a few overgrown bushes, clearing rocks from the yard, planting and watering new grass, and designing/planting refreshed landscaping around the church grounds.
Every hour offered, every brushstroke, every tile set—each one brings us closer to welcoming the community into refreshed, safe, and beautiful spaces.
If you’re able to help with any of these tasks, or you know someone who might be, please reach out to the Church Office or reply to this message. We’ll coordinate times, materials, and teams so the work moves smoothly over the next couple weeks.
Thank you for your continued generosity, your resilience, and your belief in what God is building here. Phase III is almost complete—and your hands can help carry us across the finish line.
With gratitude,
Pastor Jacob
