We are a church of open minds.
We are a church of loving hearts.
We are a church of helping hands.
Together we care for our earth,
And work for peace
and justice in our world.

Our church members voted June 2 to authorize expending $2.1 million to renovate and expand our facilities:

The changes funded in this (Phase 1) project will be: 
  * a completely renovated classroom wing with fewer-but-bigger classrooms;
  * a new roof and internal sprinkler system for the entire existing facility
  * a new entrance wing with
    - (on the main level) larger administrative/minister offices + new restrooms;
    - (on the lower level) a music room, a storage area and a mechanical
          room servicing a geothermal heating & cooling system
  * expansion of our "Gallery Space" (Sanctuary Lobby/Social Area)
    - (at the south end) to create a new fireplace, bookstore/café area, and A street profile
    - (at the north end) to add a library room and expanded lobby/entrance area (in anticipation of Phase 2: a projected new Sanctuary & lower level classroom addition)

The $2.1 million funding package approved provides for:
   $1,265K from capital campaign contributions already made or pledged
   $275K from the church's foundation principal
   $150K from the sale of a church-owned house
   The balance from other donations + mortgage financing.
