In September of 2008, general construction began on a long-anticipated, much talked about project. Through the years there had been concern for the organ, which was in need of substantial work, handicap access and restrooms, child care areas, outdated equipment, accoustics and more. Jacobson Contracting, our General Contractor, was been busy from September 15, 2008 to February 2009, guiding plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters and more, moving us through our renovation project. After four months of construction, we were able to host a wedding on January 30, and we held our first services back in the Sanctuary on Sunday, February 8, 2009.
Our thanks to Daniel Krief, our architecht during the construction phase of our project, and to Jacobson Contracting and their subcontractors for their excellent workmanship. Our thanks as well, to the Organ/Sanctuary Committee Chair, Frank Taverna, and to all those who were part of the committee. It all looks and sounds amazing.
The Sanctuary and Organ Dedication Service was on March 29. The first of many organ concerts to come was held on Sunday, May 17. Performing at the concert were be John Peragallo, of the Peragallo Organ Builders who built our organ; and our former director of music, James Dennis.

It is exciting to be back in our Sanctuary again. But we continue to remember that our Church and our Mission are more than having a nice building and a new organ, it is all about sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. Join us as we continue our Mission, to Know Christ, to Grow in our Faith and to Follow in our Savior's footprints.
