For several years this Commission has worked on safety issues in our Church building for people with physical limitations. Recently I was awarded a grant from the National Automobile Dealers Charitable Foundation In Honor and Memory of Mel Korum of Korum Motors in Puyallup. This grant will be used to put in handicapped doors to our Church on the south entrance near the handicapped parking area. Currently there is a committee working on this project. We look forward to its completion.
