This
project included repairing and refinishing pews, replacing carpet, repairing
water damage on the walls, plaster patch work, and repainting. All
of this work was being funded by a bequest to the All Saints’ Memorial
Fund from the estate of a parishioner, in addition to the “Chapel Fund”
which has been set up for the past few years.
Further
work has being done on external repairs such as wood damage, window frames,
repairing and refinishing the large front doors, and drainage problems
surrounding the Chapel foundation.
Our “Old
Church” is a treasure which is not only full of personal meaning and wonderful
memories, but also is a vital part of All Saints’ current life and program.
The Chapel is used in many different ways almost every day of the week,
and deserves no less than the very best we can give to it. The Memorials
Committee, chaired by Melissa Oakes, planned this work and
oversaw the project. We are excited about this work, and hope you
are too!
Members of the Memorial Committee: Melissa
Oakes, Chair, Duncan Baird, Katie Ruth Bush, Bob Dale, Shannon Johnston,
Pete Poland, Jr., Thom Saunders, Yvette Slocum, Doris Streit, and Hazel
Walker.
