These are the selected chairs and 100 chairs will be ordered shortly. We will have a combination of single and double width chairs. Each chair have padded seat and back, a book rack and a kneeler. The fabric will be  a shade of red instead of the browns in the photograph.

The evolution of a plan to update the Sanctuary

What started with the outside of the church building last year,  with painting, some new siding, and a new roof has moved inside. Late last year, some new designs were presented and discussion has ensued since then.

At the Annual meeting in January, some of the plans were presented to the congregation descibing the on-going work around the building - updated sanctuary, new sound system, updated internal networking/internet access, and a new parish hall.

The upgraded network/internet access is now in place and in use every Sunday for worship. A new electric piano has been donated and is used on Sunday.

As to the Sanctuary renewal, significant steps have been taken. Chairs will be ordered this week (see examples on this page). A Buy a Chair! campaign is underway. A design has been accepted by the Vestry (see pictures below).

We are trying to preserve the feel of the space with the angles and allowing a more flexible seating arrangement. The altar will be moved forward about 15 feet and lowered to the third step (the same step as the lectern and pupit reside). The Holy Eucharist will be celebrated on the same floor as the congregation sits.

NO STEPS NEEDED TO RECEIVE THE SACRAMENT!

As we curently do,

if you are unable to come forward, we will bring it to you.
