            [post_content] => Still Have Questions or Comments on the Proposed Sanctuary Improvements Concept Design?? We want to give everyone a chance to review the concept design documents, ask questions, and offer comments and suggestions on what our architects, Robert Olson + Associates, have proposed for a new and improved sanctuary design for United Parish Brookline. One of the big ideas is adding a fully accessible entrance at the back of the sanctuary, providing a visible welcome to the community along Harvard Street - to complement our rainbow chairs! Three conversation sessions have been scheduled to gather your comments. Each will last 45 minutes to 1 hour. The events will be in a discussion format. Handouts of the concept designs will be provided, and we will present the findings of the acoustics study as well.
  • Thursday, May 21, 5:45pm - timed to capture choir members' thoughts, but all are welcome to join us. A light dinner will be provided. We will meet in the Parlor.
  • Sunday, May 31, 12:30pm - after the service in the Sanctuary.
  • Wednesday, June 3, 10am - Join us for coffee and snacks. We will meet in the Parlor.
Deb H. and Patty S., who are shepherding this project and congregational outreach for the UPLIFT team, are committed to making sure that every person in our community has a chance to comment. We need to hear your voice! You can reach both Deb and Patty on Realm or in the chancel with the choir after services.
