The Story of Our Campus
July 26 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
During our Annual Meeting in January, we shared that we were embarking on a big project to create a master plan for our campus. We are excited to invite you to an important step in this process. This Sunday, July 26th at 9:00 am in the Parish Hall we will introduce a comprehensive timeline and story of our campus.
A group of talented parishioners put together this timeline to celebrate the blessings we have received by the land we have and all the many ways we are able to engage it. And, over the years, it has become evident that the absence of a comprehensive campus plan has created a piecemeal approach that hasn’t allowed us to consider long-term effects or overall outcomes. By creating a master plan, we’re changing that oversight!
Over the last six months, a lot of work has been going on as a team made up of Vestry and other lay leaders has been taking stock of the many groups that use our space, and identifying needs and pains associated with our growth. We’ve begun exploring what may (and may not) be possible here.
As we’ve done this work of reflecting and imagining, we’ve realized how important it is to ground ourselves in our history — to recognize the gifts that are already here, many of which have been present since the very beginning. It is astonishing to see how much members have contributed to our buildings and grounds, dating back to work begun in 1960. Across these decades, lay leadership has been core to this church’s existence and flourishing. These folks’ hard work has made our beautiful church home possible today, and now it’s our turn to discern how we will help carry it forward and make it a welcoming vibrant space for those who are not yet here.
We hope you will join us on the 26th to learn more about this story, add your own memories and stories to the timeline, and help us take this next step in creating a master plan for our campus. We’ll also be reaching out soon to gather more of your wisdom and experience with our buildings and grounds, and how we can better serve the whole community.
