The Restricted Capital Expenditures Fund
This fund was established by the Church Council to provide for repairs and improvements to our church. We have an urgent need to replace our air conditioning system (2-air handlers). These units are worn out and have far exceeded their normal service cycle. The unit above the kitchen has corroded and rusted through and is leaking, and the motor in the altar unit is worn out causing noise and vibration thathas caused additional problems. The proper installation of two air handlers and the necessary electrical work will cost approximately $6,000.00. Please, please consider a gift to this fund. The air conditioning issues were unforeseen and will be an additional amount against our2008 church budget. Please do not wait for a special appeal by mail. Venice Florida’s only Orthodox community needs your support to resolve this crucial need.
Paintings by Tatiana McKinney
Holy Spirit Orthodox Churches’ previous iconostasis paintings were gifted to the church in approximately 1991-1992 by former parishioner, Tatiana McKinney, then resident of Venice, Florida. Her mixed media creation consisted of paintings on ironed linen, with burnt edges, painted onto plywood using gold leaf background.
The Parish Council has decided that the six larger pieces and smaller paintings, in consideration of the proper respect and dignity to Tatiana McKinney and Holy Spirit Orthodox Church, will be offered to the general public for viewing and possible purchase.
