As of today our bell is back home!! Workers from our contractor, R. J. Spann Construction, reinstalled our 116-year-old bell into its new home. The work was "monitored" by children from the Parish School. For those present, it was an emotional and uplifting sight to see!

This will be a chance to see a floor plan of the interior of the seismically-strengthened Sanctuary, see photos of how we currently envision our new pipe organ, and learn about all project elements:
New foundation and walls, lateral strengthening designed to ensure the building will survive a severe earthquake
New pipe organ
Lower the communion rail, add accessible restrooms, and update the sound and lighting systems
Add a Memorial Chapel that will contain niches to hold the cremated remains of those in the parish who wish to be interred in the church
Create a new sacred space especially for lifelong spiritual formation where the Vesting Room is now located, to be called the Seaside Chapel - this will also be an area for overflow seating for large services and a chapel area for smaller weddings/services
Update the working areas of the church, including altar guild and clergy sacristies and the flower guild work room
Update the campus landscaping, install proper drainage systems
