Rectory Renovation/Student Center Kitchen Renovation Drainage Improvements

Rectory Renovation Project, July-August, 2006

The St. Andrew's Rectory has been transformed into an Episcopal Student Center, AND a living/learning center residence for five students who are living in an intentional Christian Community, praying, working and providing hospitality to other students who come to visit, worship, or study there.

Second Floor

The Rev. Dr. Peter Antoci, the Episcopal/Anglican chaplain, has modeled the student center upon the living-learning residences of the university, which are specialized residential programs initiated by and having direct connections with faculty and specific academic units within the University.

There will be many opportunities for St. Andrew's parishioners to interact with the residents and other members of the campus community when they gather at the student center for activities ranging from lectures and discussions to decorating Ukrainian Easter eggs. Each Sunday evening when the University is in session, Peter will hold a service at St. Andrew's at 6:30 p.m., which will be followed by a light supper at the student center.

Kitchen Renovation Project

Kitchen Work is Finished! If you have not visited the parish hall lately, now is the time to stop by and check out our beautiful new kitchen! With almost entirely new applicances, cabinets, and counter space galore, the kitchen will be much better able to serve in its many capacities: as "soup kitchen" for homeless shelters and our Loaves and Fishes Cafe, as a pleasant cooking spot for parish dinners and pot lucks, and as a profitable space for persons renting the church for parties and weddings.

Drainage Improvements Project

The county has approved our architect's plans for correcting and improving the drainage around the church buildings. Final signatures have been notarized, and we hope to have plans in hand soon to begin soliciting bids from landscaping contractors.
