Sanctuary Improvement Project

Sanctuary Improvement Team

Recently the Session appointed a team to look at ways to better utilize our existing sanctuary platform area.  Billy Scroggins, B & G Chairperson, announced at the March Session meeting that they should be presenting their suggestions in the near future.  The Team has looked at ways to accommodate our larger worship team, improve the sound system, and expand area for children’s programs, and other activities by incorporating unused areas on the platform.  This will allow better communication between our organist, pianist, and percussion sections, eliminating current safety issues and eliminate overcrowding on the floor. We are most grateful to this team for all their work and look forward to hearing about their vision.


Sanctuary Improvement Fund

In anticipation of the above project a new fund has been established.  We believe that this project will answer needs for all ages.  Improvement or our sound system will be greatly appreciated by many of us, including the worship teams.  As parents and grandparents, we look forward to giving the children and youth enough area to present their programs and still be easily viewed by all.  Elders and all others who serve up front will be most grateful for the   removal of all the cords and wires and it goes without    saying that “extra step” in the back which many of us have tripped over through the years will hopefully be gone. 

There will be opportunities in the weeks ahead to assist with this fund.  The Session has set the Sanctuary Improvement Fund as the “alternate” donation for the  Easter Memorial if you so choose, rather than purchasing a Lily.  (See Easter Lily Announcement, in the newsletter.)

To direct a donation in support of this project please write check to Sterry Church, put in Memo line: Sanctuary Improvement Fund and place in the offering plate or direct to the Sterry Church office.  P.O. Box 655, Parma, Idaho 83660
