St. Peter's by-the-Sea
Opportunities for voluntary improvements
     St. Peter's is a welcoming congregation with a beautiful worship
    space which, together with our Parish Hall is accessible for used by
    many organizations.  Our choir consists of fine, dedicated singers.

      The entrance to our Nave is graced with a large, wonderful and
    original mosaic.  Our Memorial Garden provides a quiet place for
    reflection and has been featured in the coastal garden tour.  Our
    parish ministries are filled by competent and dedicated individuals.

      Yet, as we look around we see things that need to be repaired or
    improved.  That's what this page is about.  Listed here are some
    areas that have been pointed out as in need to volunteer effort.

     If you see something here you would like to work on, please
    do so.  Some tasks require more than one person's
    contribution.  Feel free to talk with others, to seek their
    assistance but not to complain.  

     Similarly, if you see something that is not listed here and you think  
    it's something volunteers could do, please be sure to email the
    websexton (websexton@stpetersmorrobay.org) so it can be listed.

     When an improvement is completed, be sure to ask that it be
    removed from this list.
Both Bathrooms:
In ADA compliant bathrooms it's
expected to have the under-sink
pipes covered with a vinyl or PVC
protection so that when
wheelchairs bump the pipes the
chance of damage to the pipes is
minimized.  

If someone could buy and install
the covers? Or divide the duty?

Follow this link to see what is
required.
In the Nave.  Hole in the wall
Near the thermostat in the back
wall there is a round hole.  If it
serves no purpose, maybe it
could be repaired.
Acoustics in the Parish Hall
For many whose hearing has
diminished since those teen
years, the background sound in
the parish hall when a larger
group is present is such that
many times the simplest
conversations can't be heard or
understood.

There are panels that can be
mounted on the parts of the walls
that are concrete that will
significantly improve the sound
situation.

There will be a request for
donations to pay for these panels.
Heating in the library.  
As you know, there is a heater on
the wall up by the ceiling.  This
heater works by radiating heat
and not so much by warming the
air.  It has two major drawbacks:  
1.  It heats those who are closest
a lot more than those who are
farther away.  2.  It uses atrocious
quantities of electricity.

Some work had been done to
discover a more effective, more
efficient alternative.  There will be
a request for anyone who knows
anything to help discover the
appropriate, best heater and also
for volunteers to install it and
hook it up.

In addition there will be a request
for donations to pay for the heater.
Table noise
Attach felt pads to the bottoms of
table legs.
In the Nave:
Because there was a leak in the
heating system, some of the floor
tiles have curled and become
unglued.  This is in the rear
corner of the nave on the side
closest to the parish hall.

Someone might like to work on the
repair of the floor.
