A new Sanctuary renovation start date was announced at the Nov. 11, 2018 Town Hall. The final worship service in the Sanctuary before we begin renovation will be Jan. 27, 2019. We will begin worshiping in the Parish Hall for the first of our regular Saturday services on Feb. 2. The first of three regular Sunday services will begin on Sunday, Feb. 3.

Here is the new Parish Hall worship schedule:

Saturday Evening Worship: 5 p.m.

Sunday Morning Worship: 7:45-8:30 a.m. (45 min)

Sunday Coffee Hour: 3o minutes

Sunday Morning Worship: 9-10 a.m. (1 hr)

We will take February and March to remove everything inside the Sanctuary, including our failing organ, all pews, the pulpit and lecturn, and everything from inside the altar and flower guild rooms. We will also remove all the stained glass windows and reredos and crate them for safe storage during construction.

Formal construction is expected to begin about April 1 and take approximately 14 months.
