Caring for the Place We Call Home

Over the past few months, there has been a steady rhythm of work happening across our campus, some of it visible and some behind the scenes, all focused on caring for the spaces where ministry happens every day.

Several important projects are currently underway. Work continues on the Marcy Chapel windows, restoration of the MFLC façade, and the Wesleyan Building door along Morse Boulevard. We are also addressing essential systems, including a boiler repair in the Wesleyan Building, AC repair in the Reeves Fellowship Hall, and modifications to the Sanctuary lighting to enhance worship and visibility.

At the same time, several major projects have recently been completed. The MFLC roof has been replaced, ensuring long term protection for that space. A makeup water line for the chiller was replaced to support our cooling systems. On the first floor of the Wesleyan Building, the men’s restroom wall and urinals were updated, and the Fellowship Hall drain line and flooring were repaired. In the MFLC, ceiling tiles and insulation on the second and third floors were replaced, and new first floor heaters were repaired for MSEE.

All of these projects have either been completed or initiated within the last few months. While not always glamorous, this work matters. It supports safety, stewardship, and the everyday ministries that fill these rooms with life, from worship and children’s programs to community gatherings and outreach.

Thank you for being part of a church that cares not only about what happens inside these walls, but also about faithfully maintaining the spaces entrusted to us.
