The Session unanimously approved the installation of a freestanding church sign on the southwest corner of the Shaker Drive entrance to the parking lot. It will be identical to the sign by the Amherst Avenue entrance and will also be erected and paid for by the Property Committee at great savings to the church. The sign will be located on a wide easement between the driveway and the church’s vacant lot.
