Ferrisburgh to buy church as congregation dwindles

The church, which like many is faced with a dwindling congregation, was deconsecrated on Dec. 17 to allow the transfer. Church Pastor Paul Hoffman said congregants are happy the historic building can be repurposed for the public good.  Photo courtesy of Paul Hoffman
