Join us this Sunday for “A Celebration of Worship Space” A Service of Thanksgiving for the Sanctuary Renewal Renovation This Sunday is Kick-off Sunday where we once again begin a new program year at St. Simon’s. As we begin we would like to give thanks to God for the completion of the flooring project which took much time and energy this past year. We would ask that you join us in worship at both the 8:15 and 10:00am service where there will be a special liturgy of celebration. Flooring Project Details and Numbers The past year has seen a dramatic change in the indoor landscape at St. Simon’s. The new Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring has transformed the entire upstairs, both visually and acoustically. The new flooring has triggered a few other changes, such as new baseboards, refreshed paint, reupholstered seating, new choir chairs and upgraded electronics, to name just a few. So the sanctuary now has both a brighter look and sound! Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who has worked so long and hard to make this new flooring a reality. This project grew to more than just a flooring replacement. For example, many hours have been spent tearing up the old flooring, moving and reinstalling the pews, installing the baseboards, painting, replacing heating vents, replacing wiring for the sound system, meeting with installers, replacing cabinetry, and so on. A breakdown of the costs is as follows: Luxury Vinyl Plank and installation - $30,000 Baseboards (installed by volunteers) - $2,000 New Baseboard Heaters and Electrical Work - $6,300 Sound System - $1,800 Choir Chairs - $1,300 Miscellaneous - $500 Total = $41,900 It was funded as follows: Fundraised, Pledged and Donated - $31,000 Fund Transfer - $8,500 Total = $39,500 Shortfall = $2,400 Thanks to our entire St. Simon’s family for your patience as we have worked through this project. Your support has been greatly appreciated! Your wardens, Jack Smye and Eugene Sears
