Exciting news this week is that the East Entrance is now available for use on Sunday mornings! The final door is not yet installed, but the temporary construction door works just fine, and makes the walk from the back parking lot a lot less tedious! Please feel free to use this entrance for...
Work continues, even as we wait to identify a solution for the pre-existing failing roof trusses in the North Wing. Bathrooms are rapidly taking shape on the lower level, with tile work and plumbing fixtures going in this week. The sink for the Sacristy is also installed, which includes a...
After the elevator, this week's construction update may be the most exciting yet... we have a coat rack in the Foyer, including hangers! There was lots of concern in the design phase about having adequate space to hang coats, so we hope this passes muster! Additional coat racks will be...
They don't make much of a difference during the day, but wow! What a difference at night to have ample light in the parking lots! Our new overhead and bollard light fixtures will have a tremendous impact in making our property and grounds much safer and accessible for all. Contact Joel Johnson...
