First, we have rearranged some more furniture. The middle classroom in the lower level of Fellowship Hall has now become the new “Youth Room.” That, in turn has displaced the “Spirit Play Room” which is now located at the end of the hall where the small meeting room used to be. The large conference table from that room is now located in the Cottage House Kitchen, which is now designated as our newest “Conference Room!”  The large Cottage House room at the south end of the first floor is now designated as the “Library” and currently serves as the home for Chalice Circles. In each room you may also notice a few new chairs that are designed to safely and comfortably seat large heavy people.

Next, outside you will notice that while we filled cracks and sealed the weathered pavement we also took the opportunity to improve the striping. Perhaps most importantly, we painted four of the curbs white so that they can be better seen at night. We also added two handicap parking spots at new locations so you won’t have to struggle up or down a hill to use them.

Finally, we are in the process of building two picnic tables outside the lower level of Fellowship Hall. These tables are made with recycled plastic decking for the contact surfaces and they are designed to be easy to access for people with mobility issues. If you would enjoy helping with this project, let Keith know and we’ll find an hour sometime to work on it together!

Many other things, such as pruning, planting, painting, and planning are also in progress. Just speak up if you’d like to become involved in any of our various B&G activities.
