Chancel Renovation Update
One of the proposed projects to be funded by our capital
campaign is a renovation focusing primarily on the chancel area. While this
renovation was originally focused on improving acoustics for the organ, the
importance of improving the worship space has now taken on a greater meaning.
With the many musical groups, youth groups, and worship
services including weddings and funerals that use this space, greater
flexibility is needed. The front staging area will be pushed out to the second
row of pews. A single row of removable chairs will be added. A step up stage
will allow for better visualization during special ceremonies such as baptisms
and weddings. This new open stage design will greatly enhance special worship
services such as VBS, music ensembles and celebration worship services.
A major focus of our last building project 10 years ago was
making the church more accessible for disabled and elderly people. It is now
time to complete that project by making our worship space accessible for those
folks. Easier access to the stage will be available and a ramp will be installed
making the stage area completely accessible. Safety for our whole building will
be improved with the installation of fire retarding doors in the sanctuary. And
finally with some slight re-shaping of the arch and by adding some hard surfaces
the acoustic improvements originally targeted can be achieved.
Please keep these proposals in your prayers as we move forward toward Growing
Our Ministries To Glorify God.
