Change in approach



 The first renovation plan was produced in 2008 which created a five-year project list that would allow the Center to gradually catch up with the required overdue maintenance of our facility.





We continue to update the renovation list each year with new projects. What is exciting about the current list is that we have finished everything that was called for back in 2008. So what does this mean for the future? The current renovation list not only has built into it a proactive list of projects that will be needed in the years to come, like replacing the roofs visual barrier, and preparing to replace a few HVAC units per year (which may or may not need replacing since we have moved to having a maintenance visit three times a year) but we are also able to explore beatification projects like replacing the chairs in Room 10 along with new paint, sound equipment, and lighting. Maybe you have already seen some parts of the Center receiving a fresh coat of paint? Make sure to check in on Grinton Chapel and room 11! 



Remember we mentioned the visual barrier on the roof? This will be a major help to amount of leaks it creates when it rains. And will make life easier as we look at replacing the roof membrane in the next few years.



We have many ideas for the future that will keep our Center looking fresh and beautiful. Imagine what the exterior of the building would look like with a fresh coat of paint! Or even a monument sign? Look out beautiful people of the Center, the renovation team has your best interest at heart.

Jail Ministry Gratitude

  We would like to publicly recognize and celebrate the incredible dedication of Susan Bennett, Rosalie Sulgit-Shay, and Tamarya Hulme - who have tirelessly served in our community’s jail ministry.  For the past six years, these women have committed themselves to visiting incarcerated individuals every week, bringing with them compassion, hope, and spiritual guidance. Their unwavering presence has provided comfort and a sense of dignity to those who are often overlooked, offering a light in some of the darkest moments of these individuals' lives. Their work is a powerful reminder of the impact that loving-kindness, faith, and consistent support can have in transforming lives.  Let us all take a moment to honor and thank them for their extraordinary service and the difference they have made in our community.   Thank you.

Blast from the Past: Rediscovering Connections within Our Larger Community

Hello everyone! In today's "Blast from the Past" feature, we're exploring more than just a photo from our archives; we're diving into the heart of our larger community. This image captures a group of individuals who represent a specific community within our community. But who are they, and what special group do they belong to? As we look back, I invite you to scrutinize the photo and see if you recognize any of these faces. Each person here has played a role in shaping a particular segment of our community, contributing to its unique character and activities. The event captured in the photo also holds significance. Do you recall what this gathering was about? Were you there, and what memories do you have of it? This event and the community it represents have likely been on hiatus, especially with the challenges posed by the pandemic.
