Rooted in a Strong Foundation

Rising to Support Our Future Generations

St. Laurence Church is building a new Parish Hall, called The Great Hall, and refurbishing the old Parish Hall into our new Children’s Ministry Building.

Spaces are being created where we can all gather, where we can serve, teach, our youth can grow and where the mission of the Church can flourish. God has brought us tremendous growth and through Him, this expansion is possible.

  • We are continuing work on the exterior sheathing on The Great Hall. Exterior red brick work has begun and will continue for the next week. Soffit framing has begun.

  • The concrete for the sidewalk which joins the rear patio of The Great Hall to the parking lot has been poured. We continued work on the remaining exterior sheathing and the interior framing.

  • Red brick masonry work has begun on both buildings.

  • 2 windows and 2 doors on the Children’s Ministry Building have been bricked over as they will not be used in the new configuration of the building. Since the 2 windows were located in what will now be the bathrooms, we figured this was a good decision.

  • The electrical system has been connected between the two buildings for ultimate tie-in to the city. We have finalized the fire sprinkler system in the Children’s Ministry Building.

Nov. 16

  • The interior and exterior framing on The Great Hall is continuing and the exterior sheathing has begun. 

  • The fire sprinkler system for the Children’s Ministry Building is in full progress. Final electrical is being installed, exterior masonry work has begun and upper windows in the transept have been installed.

  • Work is continuing on the second retaining wall project and sidewalk adjacent to The Great Hall. This will connect The Great Hall rear patio with the parking lot.
