- 02/21/2022 update - The Status of 25 Old Jackson Ave
- The Board and the Emergency Task Force have moved forward with rescue and repair of 25 Old Jackson under the congregation’s authorization to “investigate selling the property.”
- Very soon the property will be ready to list with a realtor as commercial property. All of the damaged walls, wiring, and damaged contents have been removed. The wiring has been replaced and the exterior walls have been insulated and replaced with mildew-resistant materials. The water, electricity, and heat have been restored. The interior walls have not been finished, leaving final reconstruction for a potential new owner.

- Clean Up Day: Saturday, October 2nd we invite volunteers to join us for a clean up day to continue to remove and discard debris from the building, and to help salvage items for future use. There will be a portable bathroom available, but no running water. People are encouraged to dress for a mess, bring work gloves and pack lunches and snacks.
