Shortly after the fire in April, we received a bid from the Keck Group to replace the pews that were damaged. Unfortunately, they later contacted us to say that they were unable to complete the job for us. Shortly before Memorial Day we received a contract from New Holland Church Furniture for $71,253.47 to replace and install the new pews and to replace one prie-dieu that had been destroyed. Even rushing the order, the work will not be completed until some time in October. Because they will need to place new anchors in the floor, we removed the old ones to prevent tripping. Our maintenance staff also replaced the cracked tiles near the library. With that work done, we were able to remove the stanchions.
