Hold on to your hats,

From Maribel Dana and Rev. Ann Schranz,

We have news about the vandalism that occurred last night. Almost all the glass windows, and glass sanctuary walls and glass doors were broken when someone slammed rocks through them. A person has been arrested in connection with this. Fortunately, no one was hurt, and we have insurance to cover the losses.

Sunday services will continue. Our Director of Religious Education, Amy Randall, will be in contact with parents regarding religious exploration programs.

This entire process will take several days to complete. According to the contractors, the building will be secured tonight.

At this point, there is no need for volunteers. If that changes, we will reach out for help.

Around 7:00 a.m., a staff member found the broken glass and notified the police. The person who was found in room 7 was arrested. Police say the suspect may be charged with several felonies.

These are the steps we are taking:

1. In the sanctuary, we will be using metal chairs due to the risk of glass clinging to fabric. We also expect to replace window coverings.

2. Meetings in the Founder’s Room will be relocated. We expect to replace carpet and fabric-covered furnishings.

3.Phones and internet are interrupted and will be restored soon.

You will be relieved to know that our insurance will cover the damage, and that we have a million dollar per year cap. Our deductible is one thousand dollars.
