From the Business Office

From the Business Office (September 2010)

As we approach the fall and the return to schools, we ask that you bear with us as we continue the process of repairing the damages caused by the May hail storm. I realize that scaffolding, lifts and other equipment are a strain on our parking facilities, and we are doing our best to keep these areas clear, especially on Sunday mornings. Our shingled roofs have now been completed, and the flat roof systems are scheduled to begin this week. New guttering has been installed throughout the facilities, the EIFS (stucco) surfaces have been repaired, and work on our A/C systems is scheduled within the next few weeks. The stained glass repairs in the Parlor and Print Shop are now complete. Other window replacements are in the process of being completed. We hope to have all exterior repairs completed sometime in mid to late September. At that time, we will begin our negotiations with our insurance company for interior repairs, including the painting of the Sanctuary.

From the Endowment Committee

Chapel Hill's endowment funds are not simply sitting in a bank earning interest; they are helping fund the work of the church. In the 4th quarter of 2009, endowment funds were used to help pay for several projects, including:
• Renovations of our basement
• Landscaping renovations
• Installation of video cameras and other improvements in the Sanctuary
• Renovations of the Memorial Garden

Other projects that have been approved for partial funding by endowment earnings include:
• New signage throughout the facilities
• Upgrades to our audio in the Sanctuary
• Upgrades to the Sanctuary A/V booth

The endowment funds are permanently dedicated to specific purposes at Chapel Hill and have been built up by donations over the years from people who want to provide a lasting gift to the church. Please let any member of our Endowment Committee or one of the pastors know if you have questions or are interested in making a contribution to the Endowments or if you would like to leave a legacy to Chapel Hill.

 

Professional & Business Directory

Occasionally we receive requests from church members and visitors who want to know if we have a member of our church who is a certain type of professional or owns a certain type of business. As people move to OKC from other communities, they often do not know where to go to meet their needs and/or they would like to support someone within our church if they could.
