Sanctuary Floor Pilot Project

Please note that there will be some changes in the flooring beneath the pews in the center-front of the sanctuary this Sunday. A temporary, low-cost pilot project of replacing the carpet in the pew areas (not the aisles or perimeter) with oak-veneer plywood is underway. This project is intended to see if the wood surface will be of benefit to our congregational singing; an acoustical study done last year demonstrated that replacing carpet with wood would improve the impact of singing and would not impede the intelligibility of speech. This pilot project will be completed by a team of volunteers and with minimal disruption to worship services. If you enjoy working with wood and want to help, email [email protected]. If you have questions, please email them to the Facilities Subcommittee at [email protected].

Prayer Requests

Collective Prayers

“How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” Matthew 7:11

Let us pray for….

  • Our tweens and teens, that they would have spiritual and mental health, growing Christian friendships, deepening identity formation in Jesus, and harmonious relationships with their parents.
  • The elderly with memory struggles: that they are filled with comfort, hope and joy; that God shows them each day how to serve him.
  • Our church to have increasingly clear vision about how to proclaim the gospel in Boston, and among our neighbors and co-workers. Pray that seekers hear and respond to the gospel message.
  • That the Holy Spirit pours out new spiritual gifts upon his people needed for the days ahead.
  • Pray for those with new cancer diagnoses, for strength for each day, and greater understanding of what this day is for.
