Patience and Progress

Simmons Hall Renovation

On behalf of the Trustees, I would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding through the last year and a half of construction here at Northbrook UMC. With the refurbishment of Simmons Hall and the parking lot the Trustees have fulfilled our blessing from the merger with Christ Church. While the combined membership created new energy within the body of the church, the Trustees, with improved finances, went about tackling many of the larger needs of the facilities.
 
Below is a list of the projects completed:
 

• For the buildings of the Northbrook Campus (Bldgs. A, B, C and D), i.e. new roofs installed, installed new gutters, gutter guards and downspouts
• Painted and caulked all wooden windows (Bldgs. A & B)
• Corrected the moisture problem in Building B (Big Dig)
• Stopped water leak in Building B utility closet
• New Boiler for heat in the Sanctuary (Bldg. D)
• Two new Air-conditioning compressors for the Sanctuary (Bldg. D)
• Refurbished Parking Lot
• Refurbished Simmons Hall
• Repaired and painted Portico Ceiling

 
A special thanks to our Staff Liaison, Allen Whittaker, for his tireless effort in coordinating and minimizing the impact on the many activities and group meetings that utilize our facilities.
 
The Trustees will continue to endeavor through maintenance and projects to enhance our facilities to match the warmth and ministry of our church.
 
Faithfully yours,
Comer Train
