St. Paul 2008 Sanctuary Renovation Project

For the past many months a Worship Space ImProvement Team (WSIP) team at St. Paul has been moving our worship space renovation project forward.  I'm very happy to say our project is complete.  

The 2008 renovation project included:

  • Reworking the front step area to give us additional space up front.
  • Replacing old carpet with a combination of wood flooring and carpet as shown in the concept below.
  • Replacing old pews with a combination of new pews and pew chairs from New Holland Church Furniture.
  • Painting walls.
  • Construction of portable kneeling rails from old communion rail.
  • Carpeting balcony and move choir area pews to balcony.

Following are preliminary pictures showing the results of the renovation effort.
