Steeple Repair Update
Dear Friends in Christ,
As you may recall, in July of this year, the Vestry approved a proposal from White-Spunner
Construction to erect scaffolding around the steeple of the Big Church, to begin examining
damage and exploring options for repairs. Scaffolding was erected in late August into early
September, and over these last several months, construction engineers have completed
inspections and estimated costs for repair.
On November 26, we received a detailed proposal from White-Spunner Construction, based on extensive structural and architectural analysis, which outlined the scope of work necessary for remediation and repair. Recognizing the importance of this project, given the prominence of our steeple structure, our Vestry considered this matter at our December meeting and voted unanimously to move forward with the work as outlined in White-Spunner’s proposal.
While the full extent of damage cannot be determined and thus the final costs cannot be
calculated until the work is underway, we do anticipate this being an expensive project. We will keep the congregation informed as we learn more about the timeline, final costs, and any possible disruptions to the normal activity of parish life. As always, please contact me or one of the Wardens with any questions or concerns. We bid your continued patience and prayers as we move forward with this important work!
Yours in faith and gratitude,
Jody+
