Announcements

Lower Skiles and Use of Space

We are closing in on completing the renovation of the lower Skiles rooms and I'm grateful to former Jr. Warden Darby Logan for having continued to shepherd that project, with and in support of current Jr. Warden Randy McDonough and many others. It's exciting to see and there is so much opportunity and possibility with their restoration, this is an incredible space for ministry.

I know these spaces have been used for many things over the years, planned and unplanned, and not least our hosting Valle Crucis School classrooms while they were displaced. This space is such a gift, I want to be very intentional with it to make the most of the opportunities for expanding current ministry and possibly experimenting with new ones. To that effect, I'd ask that no assumptions be made about how the space will be used once it opens up again and that if you have a particular hope for how some portion of it will be used, that you have a conversation with me. Thank you! - Fr. Jonathan
