BRENHAM PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH ANNOUNCES FUNDRAISING DRIVE

  

Members of Brenham Presbyterian Church have launched a fundraising drive.

The project is to repair deteriorated siding and roof flashing leaks at the church.  It is expected to cost around $100,000, but already has some of the needed funds through church members.

Brenham Presbyterian Church Interim Pastor Rev. Ed Wolf said many of Brenham’s residents see the church every day as they pass by and have noted how the siding is in poor shape.  He said, “Our members have really stepped up to meet this need, but now we think members of the wider community would be interested to help, too”.

The building at the corner of College Avenue and Jackson Street was not always a Presbyterian church.  It was originally Methodist and was built in two phases.  The gathering area, known as the Blinn Room, dates from 1874, while the sanctuary was built in 1913.  The Presbyterians purchased the property in 1950, and have worshipped there ever since.

Rev. Wolf added, “We have a great responsibility to maintain this treasure for future generations to worship in and enjoy.”
