  • The back to rows of pews will be removed, and a temporary wall will be built along the back of the church
  • A section of pews along the south side (parking lot side) of the church will be removed and a temporary enterance and staircase will be built here
  • 16 trees were cut down along the parking lot
  • The garage will be torn down shortly to give access to construction equipment
