Next Steps Update

It has been suggested to me that people do not tend to read the weekly Shiloh Insider because it is too long. Therefore, this week's post will be short and simple.

The Next Steps Chancel renovation is at a very important transition point. As of yesterday (Monday, July 30) the floor sheeting was completed. The drywall should be accomplished entirely by the weekend, and the new hardwood flooring should arrive tomorrow (August 1).

We are purchasing trim and ordering the wood for the new steps, while using the wood from the old steps on the rear and side access areas. We will be using the old slatted wood siding on designated areas of the renovated chancel, so parts of the project will retain that "familiar" feel.

Shiloh has been told that the new organ console is to be delivered to the Cincinnati company as early as the middle of next week. When we complete the flooring installation, the organ company will start on installation of the new organ console. If the stars align, we may complete the entire project by the end of this month.

Thanks go to those who have given their time and effort to the project, especially Ed Kanaga, David Saelens, John Rabius, Mark Barnhill and especially Sid Manley. Another crew will be hanging drywall. To my knowledge, they are Mark Barnhill, Shawn Miller, Roger and Sue Cox, and perhaps some others.

Remember that our labor has saved the congregation more than $50,000. Hopefully, by month's end, we will see a completed chancel renovation project. Way to go, Shiloh!

See you Sunday!

We can complete the list of those who helped to hang drywall by adding the names of Kimbal Ragan, Sheldon Carr, Dave Tiley, Tom Ellingson, and Brian Salata. Thanks for all the assistance!
