Sanctuary Project
An extensive sanctuary refurbishment project was approved by the congregation at the November meeting. Work will start in the first week of January 2007 and is planned to be completed near the end of February 2007, hopefully for Ash-Wednesday. While work is being done in the sanctuary church services will be held in the Fellowship Hall.

 

1. The twenty-eight pews will be disassembled in the Sanctuary, removed and transported to a church furniture manufacturer in Clinton, NC, who will completely refinish them. The pews will then be sanded, repaired as needed, stained and coated with a lacquer finish. Seat cushions and kneeler covers will also be replaced. New 2” foam cushions, as well as new kneelers and new kneeler hardware will be used.

2. The entire sanctuary ceiling will be repaired by installing painted foam panels to conceal the damaged areas.

3. The walls in the sanctuary and its adjacent rooms, as well as the wood trim on the lower walls and door frames will receive new coats of paint.

4. The ceiling in the cove above the alter will have the acoustic tile removed and will be plastered and painted to match the rest of the sanctuary.

5. While the pews are out being refinished, the carpet will be removed and the floor area beneath the pews will be sanded and refinished.

6. A new carpet, similar in color to the present carpet will be installed in the sanctuary (aisle and front), the narthex and adjacent rooms, the sacristy and the opposite room. No carpet will be installed beneath the pews which will improve the acoustics.

Work will begin on the Sanctuary Refurbishment project in early January 2007.  Contracts have been awarded for the following work:

Pew Refinishing - Kivett's Inc.,  Clinton, NC

Painting - Clemmon's Painting & Remodeling, Anderson, SC
