CHURCH REMODELING UPDATES
While construction projects are never totally predictable, our church remodeling project, thus far, is progressing smoothly and none of our surprises have been huge or expensive. Check here every week for photos of work as it progresses.
We’ve moved from destruction to construction in the Church as we remodel our altar area. The new door to the chancel was created and accessibility ramp poured this week. Also, the new altar platform is beginning to take shape. The Furnishings & Furniture Working Group has met, and is reimagining our needlepoint cushions for our new configuration and discussing seating for the choir and all worship participants. The Altar Team will meet the end of this week or next week to review design possibilities.
In addition, even though AV capacity was not part of the original 2020 Campaign and has not yet been funded, we are exploring investing in enhanced AV capacity given all that we are becoming in the midst of COVID-19. We are conscious that, even after we return to worship together in our sacred space, some may want to continue to enjoy digital church for health and safety reasons, and we have a significant new Facebook following whom we do not want to abandon.

CONSTRUCTION KICKS OFF
Work has begun in the Church as we remodel our Chancel to meet the worship needs and desires of the people of St. Luke’s for today and generations to come. Thus far, the workers mostly seem to be producing great clouds of dust within the well protected work area. We’ll provide illustrated updates as the work progresses.
CHURCH REMODELING BEGINS
As people moved through the church for reflection and prayer, as well as for cleaning and clearing the space for construction, we honored our sacred space. Many thanks to our Altar Guild, our Design Team, our staff, and all who came to pray. Construction has now begun and will continue through the summer. As work progresses, updates and photos will be provided. In addition, Vestry Working Groups focusing on Furniture and Furnishings, Altar Design, and Audio-Visual capacity are starting their work.
