Renovations Underway At St. Stephens Lutheran Church!

Here are some recent pictures of the renovation work going on at St. Stephens Lutheran Church in Williamsburg, Virginia.

St. Stephen Lutheran Church breaks ground for New Narthex Expansion and Sanctuary Renovation

St. Stephen Lutheran Church broke ground for a New Narthex Expansion and Sanctuary Renovation in early June. Located 612 Jamestown Road in historic Williamsburg, Virginia, the 1300 square foot expansion will provide a new enlarged Commons gathering area with accommodations for ministry displays, fellowship coffee preparation and service, and ample storage for coats. The new Narthex is completely accessibility for the physically handicapped with ramps that lead to the existing Worship Space. The Sanctuary Renovation includes a new lighting system and refinished interior appointments. An octagonal Meditation Garden is planned adjacent to the Eastern Narthex Wing. The new painted brick Narthex addition will complement the existing octagonal brick Sanctuary.

The general contractor for the $500,000 project is David A. Nice Builders of Williamsburg. The new expansion is Phase 3 of a multi-phased Master Plan that has been designed by the Richmond architectural firm of William Henry Harris & Associates, Inc. The project is slated for completion by the fall of 2011.

St. John Baptist Church Steeple Installation

St. John Baptist Church, located at 8131 Roxbury Road in Charles
City County, closed the final chapter on its rise from the ashes with a Steeple raising that took place during the first week of June, 2011.

The new Steeple will crown a new Sanctuary and Educational Wing that replaced an existing historic church in Charles City County that fell victim to arson in 2004. The new facility was completed in 2007 and includes a 300-seat auditorium, administration space, fellowship space, and Christian education and support spaces. The traditional style church decided to wait for the Steeple until additional funds became available.

The $40,000 steeple was installed by Evans Construction of Sandston from designs by church architect William Henry Harris & Associates, Inc. of Richmond.

Century Construction has made even more progress at Monument Heights Baptist Church.

The First Floor windows are installed at the “51” Building.

Monument Heights Baptist Church Begins New Renovation Project

Monument Heights Baptist Church broke ground for renovations to
its Education and Preschool Wings this past November. Located at the corner of Monument and
Libby Avenues (5716 Monument Avenue) and in Henrico County, the addition marks the first
major renovation project to the church since 1978.
The 14,000 square foot renovation will provide state of the art multiuse education and
preschool space, a new entry commons with information center and new bathrooms and access for
the physically handicapped. An attractive entrance foyer will also be part of the renovation project,
with a new covered drop-off allowing access to the church during inclement weather.
The renovation project developed out of a Master Planning and design process developed
by local architect and church design specialist, William Henry Harris, AIA. “Our Master Plan
workshop allowed all church members to participate in the design of their project, building
excitement and ownership in the project vision,” explains Harris, whose firm, William Henry
Harris & Associates, has worked with over 200 Virginia churches in the past 28 years.
The general contractor for the $1,500,000 project is Century Construction Company, of
Richmond, Virginia. The project is slated for completion by September 2011.

Charlottesville --- On Friday, December 3rd, Elk Hill will hold a Grand Opening of its newest alternative Day School and Community Services Office at 1025 Park Street in Charlottesville. Darlene Ferguson is the Head of School at the Day School and Nikki Bowles is the Community Services Coordinator for Charlottesville and the surrounding counties.

The Elk Hill Charlottesville Day School will serve the at-risk student populations in the Charlottesville/Albemarle and surrounding school districts. The Community Services Office will provide access to In-Home counseling, Therapeutic Day Treatment, and Mental Heath Support for youth, adults and families.

Elk Hill's Executive Director, Michael C. Farley, said, "For four decades Elk Hill has been a place where at-risk youth have been given a stable environment of support - a place where children and families can find courage. The new Day School in Charlottesville adds another place where students can work through their issues and accomplish their educational goals. The new Community Services Office will extend our support to families throughout the Charlottesville region."

The December 3rd Open House will run from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Lunch will be provided, along with tours of the new facility.
