Introduction

Chapel Update

We reached a major milestone in December — the chapel was lowered onto the foundation walls, the final resting place. I do not intend to move it — ever again! Now that the building is set in place, you’ll start to see significant progress as we install the beams, finish the exterior walls, backfill soil, and begin framing. You'll also see the new chapel roof installed when we get a couple of dry days.

After the holidays we will continue with the Saturday work parties. Ninety people have contributed on at least one Saturday, helping with construction and/or lunch preparation. We have had an opportunity to grow closer as a community, and see the fruits of our labor every week. If you are one of the ninety — thank you! If you haven’t found time to help, we offer a safe environment and things to do for all skill levels. Come on over!

We continue to march towards a scheduled May 2008 finish date. I am proud to be part of this exciting project and look forward to working with all of you down the home stretch.

About the Chapel

On October 12, 2006, Green’s Chapel was moved across 4th Street to become part of the Northlake Unitarian landscape. The chapel was renamed “Northlake Chapel” to better identify with our congregation. This web section is intended to give the community an idea on the status of the construction project as well as the history of this special building.

Similar to our main building, we will open the chapel to the community as a place of celebration, education and spiritual growth. We already have a number of organizations interested in leasing space, including a non–profit school and Studio East. We hope to complete the project by June 2008.
