Bulletin Board Archives - First Church of Christ, Scientist, Eugene, Oregon

Dear Friends,

As you may have heard, Governor Brown has issued a “stay at home” order and banned all public gatherings until further notice. In support of these mandates, we have suspended church services (both Wednesday and Sunday), as well as Sunday School, until the ban is lifted.

We are grateful for the online church services provided by The Mother Church. These can be enjoyed by anyone through JSH Online or The Mother Church’s website.

Please note that our Reading Room is also temporarily closed at the current time.

In the first verse of the 90th Psalm we read: “Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.” We are grateful to know that all humanity safely dwells in divine Mind.

Summer: with scaffolding and equipment on a sunny afternoon.

Detail of the columns that will enclose the new smaller seating space

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.
