Painting (well, paint removal so far) is under way!

I wanted to start highlighting few of the companies that have helped us out on the building and the grounds.

A-A Tree Service came out to address four pine trees directly behind the building that were in bad shape and in danger of falling on the building.

They did an excellent (and safe!) job at a very reasonable price, which is important since all of our work relies on the generous donations of others!

The owner has also been a supporter of our various events and fundraisers for the building restoration.

If you need some trees removed be sure to give them a call:

Thanks to Robert and Kim Vaughn for getting the new skirting put on around the old church building! And replacing some rotten siding.

And thanks to Freddy and Joan Smith for hauling off some of the old lumber that had been stored under the building during the ongoing work.

We are almost ready for paint! Just one more door needs to be repaired.

We will, of course, continue to take your donations as we work to build up a long term maintenance fund for the building. 💚

154 years after the building was dedicated in December of 1870 the Pine Grove Cumberland Presbyterian church received a new roof for Christmas! Thanks to the generous support of many of our followers - descendants, Sacred Harp singers, local businesses, and other.

Next up - a new paint job! We continue to raise funds towards painting, as well as to the creation of a long term fund for future upkeep. Donations may be made via mail, or by GoFundMe and PayPal.
