Renovations 2018
As of August 13, enhancements to the sanctuary are in full swing! The 40-year-old carpet in the Narthex and Sanctuary has been replaced. Four pews have been shortened to allow room for wheelchair spaces within our seating area. Beginning on Monday, August 20, the pews are being re-upholstered. The work should be completed in early September. The workers are very busy during the weekdays, but Sunday services will not be impacted.
A majority of the cost is being covered through the generous gifts received during the 50th Anniversary campaign, along with additional private donations. Additional gifts are appreciated and would have a lasting impact on this congregation.
We thank Rick Kaiser for giving his expertise to coordinate this project. In addition, we are grateful to the Leisure World Wood Shop for volunteering their time to shorten the pews and construct new end caps.
Stay tuned for more pictures as the work progresses!
