​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Fellowship Hall Closed For Renovations

July 1st - August 31st

The trustees will be refurbishing the Fellowship Hall this summer. They will sheetrock the walls above the chair rail, fix the walls below the chair rail, and remove the unused electrical chase by the kitchen door. They will also put porcelain tile flooring in the first ten feet from the entrance into the room, making cleanup easier where food is served.  We are planning a soft sage green above the chair rail and a deeper sage on the lower walls and the trim.  The color will bring out the greens in the stained glass windows.  For those of you who have been around a long time, we will have a Green Room again!

​

This project will begin approximately July 1 and continue through August.  The Fellowship Hall will not be open during this time.  Sunday fellowship, meetings, Bible study, etc. will all need to make different plans for the summer months.  I hope this notice gives you and your committees enough time to plan.  We know that this will cause an inconvenience for some, but we hope that the end result will be worth it!  We would suggest the library whenever possible for meetings - it is air conditioned.  Please contact the church office at office@firstchurchmonson.org or 413-267-3312 and we can be sure to get you scheduled.  Thanks for your understanding.
