Facility Enhancement Celebration and Stained Glass Window Auction

3/26/2012

After church on Sunday, March 18 we celebrated the Facility Enhancements that have already been completed and kicked off our fundraising efforts to complete the project.

The completed projects include new vinyl siding on the west side of the church, carpeting in the main hallway and narthex, replacement of old windows with new energy efficient windows in the rear of the sanctuary and 4 years-3rd grade classroom, and glass block windows in Fellowship Hall to replace the original stained glass.  

Though we were sad to see the stained glass windows go, some panes were cracked and they were not providing good energy efficiency.  All 20 panels were preserved, however, and the congregation had an opportunity to purchase a window to take home a bit of the church's legacy with them.  The auction was successful, and two windows were raffled off, allowing almost everyone to have a chance at a window!  Framing of the windows is being offered by several members so that folks can gladly display the panes in their homes!

We are grateful to everyone who gave toward the effort and helped run the event.  With gifts so far from the stained glass windows and sale of used folding chairs, plus several generous gifts to the project, we have raised $5201 toward the necessary $38,000.  We look forward to having more members of the congregation participate in the project and celebrate the finished product.  Remaining projects include a projector and screen in the sanctuary, as well as renovations to the front and rear of the sanctuary.
