Reopening Details
Entry Door Changes
All doors on the back side of the church along Springside Lane will be locked at all times, including Sundays. The door nearest Springside on the north side of the building (the door that opens into a stairwell) will also be locked. This change was recommended by a safety task force as a way to enhance security, especially in areas frequented by our children and youth. Street parking on Springside will still be available.
Office Hours
Sundays: The church office will be open Sundays from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Sunday School boxes will be available in the hall near the main office for those wishing to pick them up prior to 9:30.
Weekdays: Beginning Monday, the church office will be open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Unless a major event such as Midweek Bible Study is going on, weekday visitors must enter through the doors by the main office.
Online Sunday School
Discovery Class will augment its in-person meeting with a live video feed in its public Facebook group at 10 a.m. starting June 13. Search Facebook for “Wilshire Discovery Class” to find the group. Watch lessons as a non-group member or request to join in order to interact through comments. Contact Mark Wingfield with questions.
Ushers and greeters needed
Email Barbara Clayton if you can help.
Building Improvements
If you haven’t been to the building in a while, you may notice a few differences. Facilities Manager Dale Pride and his staff took full advantage of the pandemic shutdown to make several improvements:
- The Sanctuary has new carpet. New pew cushions are on the way, and repairs are being made to the shutters.
- Restrooms now have touch-free toilets and faucets.
- A project is underway to enlarge and update the restrooms near the library.
- The Prayer Room was moved to 1100B near McIver Chapel. In the process, long covered stained glass windows were exposed.
- The Nursing Mothers Room was moved to the secure area inside the preschool hall.
- Around 200 Solar panels were installed on the roof last summer.
- LED lighting has been installed throughout most of the facility.
