We are nearing the end of our renovation process. For several months our contractors have been working hard to make the classrooms, offices, and back hallway functional and beautiful. When you have the opportunity to walk the back hall over the next few weeks you will see new flooring, new lights, new paint, walls and ceilings that have been repaired, updates in the baptistery, and so much more. With the completion of this renovation, Union has now renovated all of our building space over the past few years. About six years ago, you renovated the sanctuary and added much needed space with a new Fellowship Hall and Gathering Space. Just four years ago, we completely renovated the basement area into a beautiful youth and children’s space. And now, the oldest part of the building is “new” again.
I know you join me in expressing extraordinary gratitude to our Building Committee that has guided this process. Earl Elsner, Patti Clark, Susan Elsner, Joyce Beckwith, Julian Beckwith, Gary Wall, and Harry Maxey have worked tirelessly making this renovation a reality.
Now we need your help once again. This weekend, we will begin the process of moving everything back into the rooms. Over these past few months, items have been stored in the Fellowship Hall, side hallway, and basement. On Saturday, we will begin moving them back into the classrooms and offices. The most needed help will involve setting the rooms back up. If you are available for a little time, please come and help. We will begin this Saturday morning, around 9:30, and will work until we are done.
Thank you to all who have had a part in this exciting, much-needed project.
