Orange Friends Church - News & Events

Construction on Orange Road Continues

Construction continues on Orange Road around the church. Entrance to the church parking lot must be from the East side of Orange Road via Bale Kenyon (from the north or south). That will likely be the route into the church through November 2010. However, due to the nature of the construction process, this could change with very short notice. A good rule of thumb is to give yourself plenty of time for travel. Thank you for your patience and flexibility during the construction. To get the latest update on construction traffic patterns, please contact the church office at 740-548-5819.
