  Changes to the sanctuary were approved by the congregation on January 13, 2008. Construction began in June 2008. Here are some of the photos of the work in progress:

The old choir loft is being disassembled in this photo. Front centre is where the organ keyboard used to sit. The minister would preach from the raised platform at the rear centre.

 

The new platform is roughed in. Note the protective plastic sheet covering the organ loft. The organ and all pews are covered with plastic to keep dust out.

 

The subfloor is complete. The hardwood is next!

Mass choirs or cantatas can be accommodated with this configuration. The organ can be moved to the centre of the platform allowing our Director of Music, Ron Reeve, to more effectively direct a large choir.
