Restoration Update - May 14, 2012

Bell Restoration: We have selected a contractor – Chime Master of Lancaster, Ohio. Tentative bell removal date - first week of June!!

Phase II: Is on track to begin this work in late 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 soon, with a late May or early June start date.

New Parish Heat System (s): Medford Wellington has begun work on the new system. They are installing pipes now and will switch out the old system, and install the new one when our heating season is over. National Grid is also upgrading the gas line into the Church, which will involve some excavation of the front lawn, and moving the gas meter from inside the basement to the outside of the church.

Sanctuary Lighting: There is a demo light currently installed in the Baptismal area, and on one section of the South wall of the church. The building committee is testing and trying several possible alternatives to provide more light that is also energy efficient. Additionally, a new fixture has been ordered for the Baptismal area.
