Group 3 notes

· “Hell hut – must be gone” – Supply hut – mower barn- awful; necessary; needs attention
· Driveway – needs to be fixed
· Meditation garden – keep it; maintain it
· Back steps – work on it – would be nice to connect the buildings
· Plaza – we like it – hard to picture the church without it
· Narthex – “Gathering Place” – crowded in cool weather
· Choir loft- sound system needs to be less prominent – Good organ
· Sanctuary – like [the] colors – restful; peeling ceiling [in two places] – though new
· Steps – to back hall [?] – require caution
· Church office – Good location for Patti – Jane’s is trouble
· Need a roof over the door [into the church office area]
· Need signage to improve people’s ability to find it [the church office]
· These back rooms [in the main building] need to be reconfigured to make them more usable (not in the budget)
· Patti: We like that we can open windows; great built-in cabinets
· Preschool room – hallway space for access to back? lift to improve access
· Choir Room – would be good nursery (connection to bathroom) [?????]
· Bathroom [still in main building] – keep it for kids
· Basement: Jane’s office- bad scene in the basement – hard to get here – inaccessible
· Nursery – closet – peeling paint, etc.
· Covered walkway – hate everything except when it is raining
· Fireside Room – like it but gets crowded when used – Like the new cleanup [??]
· No shower in back building
· Youth Room – level the floor and it would be more useful
· Piano (in Fellowship Hall) – not bad
· Stage – toy storage – “Closet” [??]
· Fellowship Room – like the décor
· The Upper Room – light out – interesting perspective; good closet; fun paint

Post-tour conversation – Obstacles to our vision:
· Accessibility is a justice issue
· Lots of wasted space (so many closets)
· Stairs everywhere
· Lack of dishwasher
· No signs for parking lot or playground
