While evidence of our construction project is all over the facility, this month we’ll see change in the “face” we present to 11th Street. The doors and frames outside the narthex are in need of replacement, since they’ve suffered some deterioration over time.

Since the sanctuary is the oldest part of our facility, the Design Team looked back to find the original door design so that what we installed would be historically accurate. By including glass in the upper panels, we’ll gain light in the narthex and the safety of being able to see any incoming visitors before doors are opened!

The doors and frames are being replaced in pairs, to keep the narthex useable on each Sunday during the work. The first week of November, all of the doors are planned to be complete and the concrete stairs at that entrance will also be repaired.

Living Hope Renovations Pun of the Month
Pastor Gordon: Pastor Jill, why was the design team uncertain about whether to include the cost of the youth room partition as part of the renovations?
