Here's the Remodeled Epiphany Chapel

In creating a hallway between the older portion of the church and the lower level of the new addition, great care was taken to preserve the view of the stained glass window that had been in the Epiphany Chapel. In the new floor plan, this window is in the hallway, but the inside wall of the hallway includes large windows, opening the chapel to preserve the view of the stained glass window. The improvements in the chapel also include a new floor, newly painted walls, and a drop ceiling with integrated lighting panels. Opening ceremonies were held for the remodeled chapel on Saturday, February 7.

Classroom Space Ready for Use

New classroom and meeting space has been included under the parish hall, to be used by church organizations and by tenants. Because of the slope of the land, many of these new rooms have conventional windows, in contrast to the "basement" feel of some of the classrooms in the older portion of the church. The new space includes pull-down screens in the ceiling, roll-away walls to create more flexible space, sinks, and other amenities. There are also new toilet facilities in this area.

Welcome to the New Parish Hall!

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Sunday afternoon, February 8, to formally open the new parish hall after eight months of construction. Compare the photograph above with the one posted yesterday titled "Ready for Ribbon Cutting." An overflow crowd took part in the opening ceremony, and enjoyed the lunch served afterward in the new parish hall.

Our New Main Entrance

The photograph above shows the new main entrance hallway to Grace Church. The doors at the right lead into the new parish hall, and the double doors at the far end are the entrance to the church, between the choir room and the kitchen.
