In May of 2005, the Church Board decided to appoint
an Exploratory Committee. The Board
has many other issues and felt that a separate committee would be better
able to address the needs of our church.. Members of this committee
are Bill Brown, Harris Haywood, Jo Bates, Annamaria Hauser,
Pam Norman, Terri Goodman, Rick Schill and Deanna Vaux. The charge from the
Church Board was to explore the church facilities from the new construction
north to see what is needed.
Our Organizational meeting was June 9, 2005. Our first order
business was to do a "walk-thru" and a "needs assessment". It was
decided we needed to explore all ideas, then talk money. A structural
engineer was brought in to assess the stone and structure. The
committee is working with an architect. The committee is now
considering several problems, (1) address the problem with the tower, (2)
remodel the balcony by taking out doors and windows, changing the floor
and seating, (3) extending the stage area using the storage room behind
the pulpit, (4) evaluate the furnaces that serve the sanctuary, (5)
upgrade the electrical and sound systems in the sanctuary, (6) repair the sofet and tuck-pointing
on the outside of the building,
(7) make the old social room more useable for Sunday School classes.
There will be other minor projects such as new carpet and repainting.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to celebrate the church's100th
anniversary in newly remodeled sanctuary in 2008.
