Parish Hall Renovation

Building a more accessible Church and Parish Hall

The new bathrooms and new nursery have been framed.  The plumbers were here to rework pipes in the kitchen.  The Parish Hall floor has been removed next to the New York Ave. entrance to make room for the new staircase to the basement. (The main entrance from the parking lot is still accessible.) 

Please use caution while in the Parish Hall.

The kitchen floor has been demoed and prepared for new floor tile, and the staircase to the basement has been removed.

Nursery service will still be available each Sunday during service. Care will take place in a sectioned off portion of the Parish Hall.

Coffee Hour will still take place each Sunday after service.

Parking in the lot may be limited, as we will have a dumpster and storage container taking up a small number of spaces.
