It may not be self-evident, but there has been some real progress behind the white shroud at Lake and Kenilworth. The roofing over the sanctuary and the classrooms in Unity House is taking shape. New electrical conduits are in place, and new piping for the geothermal system has been installed.

New electrical conduits are installed in trenches made in the old concrete. This view is in west cloister of the sanctuary. Photo taken on March 5, 2016 by Ralph Earlandson
