A Beautiful Transformation...
Over the past two weeks, the Cathedral has gone through a beautiful transformation. Both staff and volunteers have worked tirelessly to clean and organize the campus as we embark on our efforts to be good stewards of God’s space. This initiative has included campus-wide spring cleaning where the Cathedral’s many closets, meeting rooms, and offices were cleaned and organized. In addition, the contents of several rooms have been moved to other areas of the campus, creating new meeting spaces that will provide many mixed-use opportunities.
Thank you to all who helped with spring cleaning and transforming many areas of the Cathedral to make beautiful mixed-use spaces in our holy place.Beautiful Transformations
Part of this initiative included a successful yard sale this past weekend. Many of our pieces of office furniture, chairs, books, and other treasures found new homes by the many individuals who visited the Cathedral. An enormous thank you to Angela Corey and her friend Pam for their help in coordinating the sale.
One mixed-use space recently created is the meeting location of Scout Troop 906. Now located in the Cathedral House basement, the troop participated in a special ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this week. Many thanks to the Vestry members and staff who attended the ceremony.
We welcome you to visit and see the new spaces being created. One exciting new space is the relocated Rev. Bernie Dooly Lending Library, now part of Dean Kate’s Cathedral House office.
There are so many individuals to thank for helping make all this possible. The guidance by the Building Use Task Force has been invaluable. Members include Jayne Hill, Jane Lester, Lisa McKenna, Scott Hill, and Jay Wright. Other volunteers who are gratefully acknowledged include Faye Wisner, Peggy Cobb, Bonnie Hardman, Betty Ann Graves, Susan Bancks, Beth Wilson, St. John’s Cathedral youth, Blessings in a Backpack team, and Family Promise team. And a huge thank-you to the staff who helped including our sextons, Anice Jackson, Marie Tarver, Debbie Scroggins, and Malcolm Williams, and others including Pam Searcy, Owene Courtney, Nancy Purcell, Liesl Gavronsky-Howsare, Marsha Hohimer, Patricia Moore, and Rich McKenna.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Debbie Johnson
Director of Operations
