St. John in the Wilderness to expand parish hall, education bulding

St John in the Wilderness Episcopal Church

From the Times-News:

[St John in the Wilderness Episcopal Church] plans to expand its parish hall and education building this fall to create the needed space for those young families and for its older members who use the facilities.

"The whole thrust is we are calling this ‘The Next Chapter,' " [the Rev. John Morton, rector,] said.

St. John set a goal of $800,000 for the expansion and began raising money over the winter. So far, the church has raised a little more than $550,000.

The current project is the first expansion of the parish hall and education buildings in more than 50 years. Both structures were built in the 1960s. . .
