Auditorium Progress:
 Summer: with scaffolding and equipment on a sunny afternoon. |

 Moving into October, the auditorium has become a busy workshop as woodwork, windows and the new podium area take shape. |
 The new platform area will extend forward of the old platform and bring the Readers closer to the congregation. |
 The old window framework being removed |
 Chris Page removes the nails from an old section of window framing. |
 The first new window frame in place and boarded up until the glass arrives. $80,000 in donations from other CS churches will cover the expense of window replacement. |
 In the meantime, services continue cozily in the foyer. |
