Room Rearrangement

The Heritage Room has been transformed into a new Youth Room in order to accommodate all the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth graders. The old Youth Room has been transformed into the 4-5 year-old classroom, so that these small members can learn in an age specific area and be nearer to children their age.

The chapel area will still be available for Sunday morning worship, but adult classes will meet there during Education hour.

Art work and heritage items are being carefully stored and will be rotated out to public spaces and appreciation on a regular basis, under the careful watch of our archives committee, altar guild, staff and custodian.

The new Youth Room will still be available for the Norwegian Supper and a few funeral luncheons. Meetings and Bible studies will move to the Sunday School wing and Fellowship Hall.

Thank you to everyone for accommodating and welcoming youth into better space for ministry!
