Grace Episcopal Church has had a tough run since it began dealing with the consequences of a congregational split initiated by then rector Don Armstrong. The legal costs and the questions of who actually owned the property caused the congregation to have to defer some much needed repairs on the parish’s historic property (which houses their offices). According to the local news, there’s some good news for the congregation this weekend:
“[T]he folks who stuck with the Episcopal Church eventually got the place back, and now they’ve been awarded a $170,000 grant from the State Historical Fund to bring the place back to its former glory. The church is planning to kick in about $114,000 more, and work is scheduled to begin this summer.”
