New life breathed into old church

The city of Edna will have another specialty venue with the Edna City Council’s passing of a specific use permit for Joe Hermes and Harrison Stafford.
    The Edna mayor and former county judge have purchased the old Presbyterian church building located on the corner of Hanover and Church St. and are in the process of restoring it for use as a wedding chapel and reception hall.
    Since they purchased the building, they have cleared brush, removed fallen tree branches, and mowed the property. The efforts have not gone unnoticed by the neighbors, for when the city mailed letters to property owners in the area informing them of the proposed chapel, 10 letters of approval were received and no protests.
