Pews, Paint, and Parking!

Posted by Deacon Christine Yucha on

Construction activity has finally reached the sanctuary. New textured vinyl and carpet are down on the floors, and only a last few details remain to be painted. Our refinished pews have also been installed, and they look gorgeous! Reupholstered cushions have not been installed yet, so it will be...

Past the temporary stage

Posted by Deacon Christine Yucha on

The Day Care is officially settling into their new rooms in the lower level. Their move this weekend prompted two major things to get underway- new floors in the sanctuary and demolition of the walls in the Cafe and Lounges in the North Wing! Construction crews wasted no time in dismantling the...

25 (and counting!)

Posted by Deacon Christine Yucha on

Can you believe that this is our 25th week of construction?! WOW. The construction crew has been working hard to finalize the Day Care rooms on the lower level so they relocate to their brand new space later this week. If you are available to help, please contact Karen Egan. Their...

Soon and very soon

Oooooooh can you feel it?! We're getting close to completion... but are not quite there yet! This week beautiful new doors and windows were installed in the East Entrance, flooring went down in the Fellowship Center downstairs, casework and appliances were added to the kitchen, and the sanctuary...

Farewell, 540 S. Cornell!

As with so many things during this construction process, we're learning to let go in order to move ahead. Today we let go of something pretty significant: the former parsonage located at 540 S. Cornell! Pastor Zak watched the excitement from our "Ministry House" at 536 S. Cornell, which will be...

Finishing Touches

Paving the Way!

Posted by Pr. Zak Wagner on

This week we’ve seen a lot of transformation inside and out. The north parking lot was paved earlier this week and is now opened for limited weekday use by the Day Care. Inside, the floors, windows, electrical, drywall (and more!) are taking shape. The sanctuary is still open for use on...

Moving & Movement

Posted by Pr. Zak Wagner on

It was moving day...again!!! This past week the basement storage was moved into storage units by the 536 house to accommodate the next phases of construction. Floors, ceilings, paint and more can now start to go in/on. There's also been a lot of movement in the North Lot as we get...

On the move

Posted by Deacon Christine Yucha on

Drive by the church and you'll see lots of progress from the past week. Our new trash enclosure will keep recycling and garbage dumpsters tucked away from view but still easily accessible for everyday use. Curbs continue to be poured for the front parking lot. Inside, walls in the Day Care and...

New Enclosures

Posted by Deacon Christine Yucha on

We reached a major milestone this week- walls are going up for our new East Entrance! A separate enclosure for our trash and recycling bins is also rapidly being erected with concrete block, followed by brick. Masons are also patching and filling in other areas on the exterior of our existing...
