Bell Tower Dedication

On Oct. 23 All Saints joyously assembled under sunny skies at 9 a.m. to dedicate our “renewed” Bell Tower, joined by a number of neighbors who had been watching with us in fascination over the months.

Workers carefully deconstructed our 1900-era, Ojai Valley sandstone Bell Tower, stone by numbered stone, and painstakingly rebuilt it on 35 foot deep pilings, around a 22 foot high rebar and concrete core, returning virtually every stone to its rightful place.

Rev. Aimee led the congregation in the Sanctuary Readiness and Preservation Project Prayer and Capital Campaign Honorary Chair Lady Leslie Ridley-Tree read the Lesson. Following the dedication by Rev. Aimee and the first ringing of the Bell in its new home by Project Facilities Committee Chair Chip Nichols, the congregation processed into the Sanctuary through the main door for the first time since Bell Tower construction began last May. Click here to see more photos!
