“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
Dear St. Michael’s Family,
After many years of praying and planning, your remodel committee, vestry, and I am excited to announce that beginning on Monday, July 25, 2022, St. Michael’s will have our first remodel since our sanctuary was built in 1958.
During the remodel we will be worshipping in Quigley Hall starting on Sunday, July 31st through Sunday, September 18th. We will return to our remodeled sanctuary on Sunday, September 25th just in time to celebrate ST. MICHAEL’S DAY including a visit from Bishop Greg Brewer.
HERE IS AN OUTLINE OF THE SCOPE OF THE SANCTUARY REMODEL:
REFINISH THE PEWS
- Remove the pews in the chapel and balcony.
- Remove, strip, sand, stain, and finish the pews from the sanctuary/nave and the choir.
- Replace the kneelers for the pews in the nave, chapel, and balcony.
- Remove and replace the rail cap in the nave.
- Install refinished pews 3” farther to the sides of the church so that the main aisle is 6” wider (aligned with the door frame).
- Refinish the platform (oak floor) under the altar and choir area.
INSTALL NEW SLATE FLOORS
- Remove all flooring from the church, narthex, steps, balcony, chapel, columbarium, and sacristy.
- Install new carpeting in the narthex, on the balcony and steps, and in the rooms in the sacristy.
- Install slate tile in the sanctuary/nave, chapel, columbarium, and sacristy hallway.
PAINT
- Refinish the frontals on the balcony.
- Remove the “grasscloth” wallpaper in the chapel and paint the surface and any other exposed walls.
- Seal the concrete block walls along the sides of the church.
- Seal the beams that support the ceiling in the church.
- Paint the railings that are on the stairs to the balcony.
- Seal the brick wall behind the choir.
- Touch up and refinish the frontals in the balcony and scratches in the wood in the chapel.
ADDITIONAL PROJECTS:
- QUIGLEY HALL UPGRADE: Repurpose and upgrade 30-year-old sound panels with new fabric, repair/replace damaged panels, and reinstall. Install new window shades.
- ROWE HALL UPGRADE: Install a new air conditioning unit for Sunday classrooms and Pre-school. Install new roof. Pre-school/Children’s Ministry: refurbish the playground
The overall cost is $600,000+ and we have raised about 75% of the funds necessary to complete the projects. We welcome any financial gifts. Thank YOU for your faithful financial generosity and support in making this remodel possible!
Also, a special thanks to our REMODEL COMMITTEE who has spent numerous hours developing, preparing, and will oversee this project, and the various ministries and guilds for helping make this transition smooth and stress-free.
Once the project begins, we’ll provide updates on our progress!
In Christ’s love,
Fr. Rick
