Then in 1927,the pot bellied stove was removed and central heating by a coal burning furnace was installed, making those cold Sunday service more comfortable for all the members. And four new Aladdin type tamps were added to improve lighting.
Then in 1928 Lute Brown re-decorated the building by adding a new metal ceiling, and then nice woodwork was added. Volunteers again help with the up keep by painting the inside and exterior of the building. Those helped to maintain the grounds and cemetery.
It was recorded in the Fayette City Journal, in November 16, 1928 Rev. E.C. Linn was the Pastor, Scott Hare, Jr.., Superintendent and Wm.Colman, Assistant. And at that time another improvement on the building was made. This time Bob Lincoln started to wire the church house for electricity, costing a total of $55.00. And the following year the oil lamps in the window bracket and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling were removed, allowing better lighting for which the members of the congregation were grateful.
