March 2008
This has been a good month for us. We hired an able young man, Evan Gregory, to shovel the snow that the plow doesn’t get. Also Gare Reid’s repair of the back stairwell has held off all basement flooding this year.
It’s rather exciting to envision the changes that are scheduled to happen to the Church over the summer and fall. I’m sure that all of these changes will keep B&G busy. The RE wing will be totally rebuilt and most people will come into the Church through there. There will be additional program space, better offices, and, of course, an elevator. We will have a new bigger parking lot and the playground will be different: either smaller or moved.
Inside the Sanctuary will also be different. The large storage structure to the right on the stage will be gone and most people will come in through the entrance that replaces it. There will probably be a lift near there to help people up onto the stage if they need help.
I must echo what I expect other writers in this newsletter have mentioned: that none of these changes are etched in stone yet and suggestions for changes are welcome. Some changes will be more complicated than others such as the layout of the Sanctuary once the new entrance is built. We are not even sure if we can use the current pews if we need wider aisles!
This is your Church so don’t be passive about this whole renovation project. Look closely at the plans and attend opportunities to discuss them. Picture in your mind how the business of the Church will flow and what will work and what will present problems. Because of your personal experiences, you might see something that others haven’t yet seen. Soon the plans will have to be finalized. Don’t miss your chance for input.
On another note, because of the building renovation, we won’t know until April if we will be able to have our yearly yard sale (although I think we will).
