The Reason We Celebrate

Remembering the Restorer

Welcome to Faith Connection Friday! We connect the pursuit of excellence to a life of faith. We have several antique pieces my husband's grandfather made from old church pews. These handcrafted, precious treasures were thoughtfully redesigned for another purpose. As we take time to remember, we recognize these priceless pieces require periodic cleaning and restoring… Continue reading Remembering the Restorer
