We’ll be a stop on the FMIA Home Tour this
Sunday, May 20, from 12-4 pm. Only the church will be open (disclaimer, it is
still very much under construction), but please come by and say hi. If you want
a deeper dive another time, I very willingly give tours, email me at nathalie.jordi@gmail.com.
We still anticipate opening this fall. Thank you for your
patience as we approach the final stretch. Our nearby neighbors have been
amazingly persevering and tolerant and we really appreciate it.
