Construction Update

Construction has begun inside the building, starting with the kitchen, meaning that the kitchen has been completely sealed off. The Dalecarlia entrance, the Sanctuary doors, and the Conservatory entrance are available to use to get into the building, and there are signs helping to guide people into and through the church.

The stairs from the parking lot to the building are still accessible, and there will always be a number of parking spaces in the lot available to use. When parking on the neighborhood streets, please do so with respect to our neighbors and don't block their driveways or walkways.

Because the kitchen is sealed off , Coffee Hour is now held in the Mabry Room. Please let Samantha ([email protected]) know if you have any questions!

Support SOME by Making a Casserole
Once a month, we prepare and deliver frozen Chicken (or Turkey) Alfredo casseroles that are then baked and served at So Others Might Eat (SOME). Our support for SOME continues during this time when the kitchen is closed for construction, so you need to know the following: 

  • The freezer is now on the main floor of the Social Hall, in the alcove between the Wenger Rooms and the stage. 
  • As always, please put your casseroles in that freezer and put your shelf-stable donations on top of the freezer.

Our next delivery to SOME is Wednesday, January 31.
