Final Touches Applied as West Wing Hall and Rooms Almost Ready for Occupancy

With only some minor touch up work to do (and the final coat of sealer on the floor), one is now able to see what the renovated hallway looks like with the new wainscoting and chair rail, ceiling molding and hardwood oak floors.  While the hallway has round, sunken in lighting, the classrooms and the nursery all have new eight foot florescent lighting.  Notice that the Nursery has kept the same coloring and the artwork wonderfully decorating the walls was preserved.  Note the new molding around the ceiling matches the existing color scheme.

Sheet Rock is Delivered on Friday to West Wing for walls and ceilings!

Around noon on Friday the twelve-foot long sheet rock panels arrived via truck delivery and were bought into the hallway for installation beginning on Monday.  In other work today, demolition continued as nails were pulled from structural support beams in prep for the sheetrock installation next week.  Clean-up and other prep activities were also done to ready the area for construction.  Rain held off just long enough for a "dry-delivery."  Attention was paid to areas where a termite infestation had occurred in the past.

West Wing Christian Education Building Renovation Begins...

Wednesday the demolition crew began the gutting of the areas of the WPC West Wing Christian Education Building for renovation.  Pictured below are various views of the demolition as it looks today (Thursday).  New electrical wiring and a circuit breaker box (to replace the original fuse box) will be installed.  Sheet-rock will be delivered on Friday for installation in the coming week.  Painting and carpentry work on the wainscoting will take place the following week or earlier.  Painting of the classrooms and hallway will soon follow with the final project to be the sanding and refinishing all the hard wood floors throughout the wing.  It is hoped that we can begin using the building again in about four weeks.

For parents dropping off or picking up children before and after worship on Palm Sunday and beyond, the temporary location of the Nursery will be the first room of the Failing Wing (just off Parish Hall); the Pre-School Class will be upstairs in the West Wing (the older Pre-School classroom); and, the Kindergarten - Grade 2 will meet in the Library.  Groups that use the West Wing Large Conference Room just off Parish Hall are currently meeting in Bailey Hall in the basement.  We appreciate everyone's patience and support as the project moves forward.  Once complete, we will have a very hospitable and welcoming Christian Education Wing for reaching our younger children and meeting needs of the community.

During the renovation, we ask that no one enter the area except those approved to do the construction.  There are open electrical hazards and dangerous and rusty sharp nails that could do some horrible damage accidentally to human flesh.  Thank you for respecting the work areas during this temporary time of renovation.  Pictures of the work will be placed on the Church web-page periodically.

Sunday, February 14, 2010: Transfiguration of the Lord Sunday with the Lord's Supper

8:30 AM   Begin Lent early with the Adult Discussion Group’s Lenten study: Learning Forgiveness: A Lenten Study.  The six-week study takes up the theme: “Repentance is at the heart of our Lenten journey.  Can we learn to forgive with open hearts?”  We’ll consider the various aspects of forgiveness, a concept perhaps more central to Christianity than to any other religion.  Come to one or all!  Here’s the schedule:  

·        2/14  Session One: The need to forgive—and to be forgiven.

·        2/21  Session Two: Confession: Looking more objectively at our urge to judge others.

·        2/28  Session Three: Identifying our external and internal enemies—and begin to move toward loving them.

·        3/7: Spiritual Discussions with Valerie O’Brien: Join the first Sunday of the month conversation!

·        3/14  Session Four: Reconciling divine judgment with divine love as we explore the deeper spirit of repentance.

·        3/21  Session Five: Forgiving others is imperative—not optional. What if we can’t forgive? Or we’re simply not ready to forgive?

·        3/24  Session Six: Is forgiveness is possible without repentance—what of Jesus’ willingness to forgive on the cross?

Christians differ widely in their interpretations of how forgiveness should be practiced. Some urge forgiveness as a Christian duty under all circumstances, while others argue that certain conditions must be met before forgiveness can be meaningful or effective. How do we sort through such competing claims and interpretations? And how do we get past some of our emotional barriers to real forgiveness? These are the kinds of the questions we will explore together in this study of a theme particularly well-suited to the season of Lent, but fit for any season of our lives.  All are welcome!  Deepen the meaning of Lent this year and prepare for the new life Easter offers!  Be part of the Adult Discussion Group! The Adult Discussion Group meets weekly at 8:30 am in the Founder’s Room.

Christmas Tea and Bazaar Full of Lots of Christmas Cheer

 

If you were anywhere near WPC this afternoon, then you noticed the dreary, rainy day did not exist on Quiogue!  Within minutes of opening the door at 1:30 PM, the Christmas Tea tables in Parish Hall were complete with good conversation over a cup of tea, hot spiced cider or coffee and delicious finger sandwiches and cookie treats.  Hostesses dressed in red and green were everywhere to help our guests feel at home.  Just a few steps off Bailey Hall, the Christmas Bazaar was in full swing with Christmas crafts, jewelry gifts, and twice-nice treasures.  A Children's Christmas craft fair and Kiddies' Shop entertained the children downstairs in the Bailey Hall and several of our youth custom gift-wrapped gifts of your choosing.

As Presbyterians, we are called to promote justice and equity, to engage in healing and to treat one another with compassion.  Historic inadequacies in our health care system and the     distribution of services through that system leave millions without the means to obtain even the most basic healthy care for themselves and their families.  Some have likened the current Health Care Reform legislation before Congress to the historic legislation on Social Security and Medicare last Century.  Given this current situation, the Session of Westhampton Presbyterian Church invited our Congressman Tim Bishop to share with us his thoughts on Health Care Reform and respond to questions.  A generous turnout of members of the congregation and from community churches attended the special Forum on Health Care Reform.  Congressman Bishop was welcomed by Clerk of Session, Glorya Johnson, and Pastor Peter Sulyok.
