The conclusion of summer coincides with the conclusion of some notable parts of the Living Hope facility renovation project. The new nursery and youth room are very nearly complete, with the exception of the divider that will allow the youth room to be used for two events concurrently. The Commons renovation is complete. And it would be hard to miss the new canopy over the east entrance!

See and celebrate these new parts of our facility at an open house on September 18 at 12:15 p.m., when we’ll have “progressive refreshments” and members of the Living Hope Design Team on hand to point out features and answer questions.

With construction in these two areas wrapping up, the focus of work is in the former courtyard, where the elevator shaft is nearly complete and the “bones” of the new chapel are visible, and in the former offices, which will be made larger and accessible from the east entrance.

A reminder: Office staff are temporarily located in Room 106, where you’ll also find the copy machine, supplies, and Consistory and Ministry mail files. Thanks for your continued support, patience, and prayers as we continue this work to assure that our facility supports our ministry and future generations.

Living Hope Renovations Pun of the Month
Pastor Jill: Why didn’t they build this parking lot drop-off canopy a long time ago?
Pastor Gordon: I think because of the overhead expense.
