After years of planning and waiting, work is progressing on our sanctuary refurbishments. Floors have been refinished in front of the organ and under all of the pews. The wall behind the organ has had unused and unsightly heating grills removed, and received a fresh coat of paint.
Finally, new carpet has been installed in the back stairwells, the pulpit platform, and along the aisles. Other improvements include the installation of new pew racks, increasing the leg room in each pew by 3”, and the cleaning and re-lamping of all our chandeliers.
Barring unforeseen problems, worship is scheduled to resume in the space on September 7 at 10:30. A special open-house ribbon cutting and organ recital will be held September 21, at 4:00pm.
We are also delighted to announce that the Thomas Library, refinished in stunning walnut, rosewood, cherry and marble is nearly finished and will be dedicated at this special service. The library honors the memory of Taran and Evan Thomas, both of whom were lost to separate tragic accidents.
Their father John Thomas has done all the carpentry and finishing of this room that will be dedicated to quiet peace and reflection overlooking the memorial garden.
