Wedding and front church Door: We are still interviewing prospective contractors to do the work on the doors.
Bell Restoration: We have selected a contractor – Chime Master of Lancaster, Ohio. They are affiliated with Duffy and Sons who worked on the Grace Church chimes in 1973. The Vestry elected to make the large bell (once the Medford fire bell) able to be swung by a rope, in addition to and electrified clapper, so that we can have the experience of manually swinging that bell. Thanks to Wes Foote, Jr, Allison Andrews and Noah Evans who worked interviewing and selecting a bell contractor.
Phase II: It seems that we are on track to begin this work in late spring or summer of 2012. Our Architect is finalizing plans and developing bid documents for this phase relating to mostly the bell tower. We hope to get this out to bid in March.
New Parish Heat System (s): The Vestry has approved a contract for a new heating system for the church and parish house. This system will consist of high efficiency boilers and will reduce our heating bills and carbon footprint. We hope to have the new system installed in the Spring or Summer.
