Vision and Mission
Time to Celebrate! Campus Improvements Are Coming Soon!
Hiland Family and Friends,
I’m thrilled to share that work on the back parking lot and driveways is nearing completion. At this point, we anticipate the work will be finished sometime in early October. You may have noticed the new concrete wall and fencing around the handicapped parking area near the sanctuary- a huge improvement!
Work also continues on our sanctuary renovations. Painting of the walls and ceilings is complete, pews are being worked on, new carpet has been selected and ordered, and pew cushions have been selected and will be arriving later on this fall.
The objective of the sanctuary renovations is not to dramatically change the appearance of the sanctuary, but rather to refresh and improve its current aesthetic. To this end, here’s what we’re working on:
- replacing the carpeting with new, red carpeting
- painting the sanctuary, which will still be predominantly white with some trim being white and other trim being dark brown
- refinishing and painting the pews, which will still be white with dark brown trim
- replacing the pew cushions with new, red pew cushions
painting the narthex and refreshing the area inside the sanctuary building’s side entrance
If you have any questions about the parking lot or sanctuary renovations, let me know. I’m glad to answer your questions or point you in the direction of someone who can help.
I continue to extend heartfelt gratitude to our Capital Campaign Committee, Decorating Committee, Treasurer, Financial Secretary, and Session, and especially to our Facilities Management Committee and Monday-Thursday crew. And, huge thanks to you, our generous and devoted congregation, and friends: without your support these much-needed campus improvements wouldn’t be possible.
Thanks for your patience while progress continues on our campus improvements.
Warmly,
Pastor Elisabeth

Blessing Box
As many of you know, the Deacons have been partnering with Thomas Cloonan of Troop #181 as he works to rebuild the Blessing Box for his Eagle Scout Project. What began as an overgrown and weathered area — especially after our previous Blessing Box was sadly blown away during a storm — is already being transformed into a clean, welcoming space that will continue supporting neighbors in our community.
The progress so far has been incredible to watch! Thomas and his team have worked hard to clear the area, refresh the landscaping, and begin building a strong new foundation for the Blessing Box. The fresh mulch, restored pathway, and newly constructed platform already make such a difference and give a glimpse of the beautiful finished project to come.
This project is a wonderful example of service, community partnership, and caring for our neighbors. We are grateful for Thomas’s hard work and proud to support him as he completes this meaningful Eagle Scout Project.
Take a look at the before-and-after photos below to see the amazing transformation so far!
