The congregation of the First United Methodist Church of Mexico is excited to announce the completion of the installation of a handicap elevator in the church building. The elevator makes three levels of the church easily accessible to all: the fellowship hall level, the sanctuary level, and the upstairs level which is where the nursery, Sunday school rooms, and offices of the church are located. The elevator received the final operating inspection on February 28, and has since been usable. In recent years the people of the church have undertaken the task of making the church safe and accessible to everyone. To this end, a new parking lot was added behind the church to allow for more off-street parking, and both a handicap ramp and a handicap accessible restroom were built. Pictured here, following Sunday morning worship on March 4, are, from left to right: Reverend William Palmer, Church Member Georgianna Monson, and Elevator Project Lead and Church Member John Aldrich.  (Article by Kelly Freihofer)
