Incompete Sign
Ken and Lisa Leeson Painting
Sign Repainting
Ken and Lisa Leeson finished painting our sign out front. John, a previous member, had started repainting the sign last year and was almost finished when he moved to the cities. The sign was missing parts of the red lettering so one side just said “St. Luke’s” and the other side said “St. Luke’s Episc”! Now it is complete and legible. Woohoo!
Thank You Ken and Lisa!
