Parking Lot Construction Update
UPDATE: Thursday, April 25, 2024
The church entrance is OPEN! Pardon the dust as our parking lot construction continues, but we are happy to report that the Lake Concord Road entrance is open! The driveway to the truck dock will be completed by Friday afternoon. The next phase of the parking lot project – the reclamation of the asphalt and gravel base that will be reused to form a 12-inch foundation for new asphalt – will begin on Monday, May 6. All parking lots will remain open this Sunday, April 28 and next Sunday, May 5. We will keep you informed on the status of the entrances as soon as we know of any changers. Thank you for your continued flexibility and patience. Questions? Contact Stephanie Trosper, church administrator, at 704-782-2024.
The new sidewalks in the Columbarium will be completed by Saturday. Please visit the Columbarium to see the upgrades and improvements. Many thanks to Rebecca Bahn who has worked tirelessly for three years to coordinate with many people to make these needed improvements.
Please note: There are NO construction impacts on Sunday, April 28, 2024. Sunday services and events will proceed as scheduled.
This construction will be a major project involving church entrance improvements, driveway repairs, drainage work, and parking lot re-pavement. Based on the current construction schedule, we anticipate the work will take about seven (7) weeks.
Construction activities will have an impact on how the church building may be used. At times, access to the church building and church parking lot will be significantly affected, especially during the work week. This means access for the Lockhart Child Development Center will be affected as well. LCDC parents and staff are receiving separate communications.
We hope to keep the impact to a minimum on Sundays, but suggest you plan your footwear for uneven and dusty surfaces. At present, Sunday services and activities will continue as usual. However, in late-April or early-May, we anticipate possibly needing to move our Sunday service to a remote location for a week or two. You will be informed of any changes well ahead of time. Please keep an eye on the Weekly Word and check the church website if you have any questions.
We will all need to practice flexibility and patience during this construction project!
The construction schedule is subject to change on short notice; therefore, parishioners and groups who usually meet at All Saints’ may want to consider alternative locations for weekly gatherings and events from now through the end of May. If you want to continue to use All Saints’ as a meeting location or schedule a meeting at All Saints’ during this time, you will need to be adaptable. We will work to keep you updated via all church communication channels. If you have scheduling questions, please contact Stephanie Trosper, Church Administrator at admin@allsaintsconcord.org.
Although this construction project will admittedly be disruptive, it is exciting to get it underway. Plans have been in the works since the successful “Set Free to Serve” capital campaign. After our building debt was paid off, three priorities were identified: completing deferred maintenance, renovating the Education Wing, and re-paving the parking lot. When this project is complete, so too, will the capital projects made possible by the Capital Campaign. If you have questions about the project, please contact Chuck Collier at cwcollierjr@gmail.com.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support of the ministry and outreach of your church.
Easter Blessings,
The Rev’d Nancy Cox, Rector
