Sanctuary Renovations and Organ Replacement: History

Charles Wesley

 

 

In the year 2000, a very generous gift was made to our church for the replacement of our aging organ. That initiated several years of careful study about not only the organ but also other renovations necessary for our sanctuary.

On March 22, 2004, a charge conference was held to discuss the plans which had been developed for these renovations. Before the conference, a letter and a set of questions and answers about the project were sent to each church member. At the charge conference, unanimous approval was given to the resolution authorizing the funding of this project.

As part of the "We Have Work to Do" campaign to raise the funds for this project, many members of the church and the church staff discussed their reasons for supporting this project and additional questions about the project were answered:
