Church Council has voted to hold a special congregational meeting on September 14th. This meeting will take place after both the 8:00 service and the 10:30 service with a suspension of the meeting between services. 30 voting members are required for a quorum.

We are meeting to vote on the updated dossal replacement budget. The church constitution requires congregational approval for expenditures in excess of $20,000. We estimate the cost of this project to most likely cost between $25,000 and $30,000. This includes the purchase of fabric and orphreys (like the sample display in the narthex) from Merhaut Company, Allison Park; panel upholstery by The Barn Fabric Center, Williamsport; and the removal and reinstallation of the panels, as well as general contracting, by Lundy Construction Company, Williamsport.

To date, St. Mark's has received approximately $13,000.00 in donations toward the dossal project. Due diligence has been given to this project over the past several years, with many discussions held to work out every detail.

Please join us on September 14th to cast your vote on the dossal replacement budget. Thank you.
