In 1951 the entire sanctuary was painted and decorated, the floors were refinished and drapes added to the windows. As a result we now have one of the most cheerful and worshipful sanctuaries to be found anywhere. Not satisfied with this rapid transformation, in 1952 the membership resolved to install memorial chimes, and in a few months they were paid for, and placed in operation. These beautiful messengers of melody add much to our worship service, and the tower chimes serve to remind the whole community of the joy, which Christ offers to all who will come. Several additional improvements have been recently accomplished.
Sidewalks extend to the street, the driveway, and parallel to the street.
The front of the church has been completely landscaped, shrubs planted, and set off by a beautiful new lawn. Also this spring, the entire exterior of the church has been renovated and carefully painted. A cellar room, once obscured by coal bins, is being transformed into additional kitchen space. May we be reminded that it was not financial stewardship alone that brought about these changes over the past one hundred years. The activities and physical improvements directly reflect the spiritual dedication of time and -talents of the members.
