25 Days: Expert Teams Activated

As daily I've watched remediation unfold this week, I've been struck by the care being extended in this work for the building. And, for however extensive the damage, this care gives me much hope for the future of our mission and ministry. We will rebuild and continue to serve the City.

Grace and peace to you,

Jared R. Stahler
Senior Pastor

  • We have put together a team comprised of legal, insurance, and building experts, working in concert with church leadership, to direct and advocate for the church’s best interests in all processes related to the water main break.

  • Craig Kahler, who is chair of the Administration and Finance Cabinet, has been named to the Saint Peter’s seat on the Condominium’s Board of Managers.

  • This week, Organ Clearing House is carefully removing and transporting the Klais organ to the workshop of the world-class C.B Fisk organ company in Gloucester, MA.

  • This workshop is one of a handful in the United States able to set up an instrument of this size in its entirety for evaluation. C.B. Fisk also is well known for their care of historic instruments.

  • In addition to comprehensive evaluation and anything evaluation may flag for remediation, the entire instrument — piece by piece — will be cleaned by hand.

  • The small, Italian organ will also be transported to C.B. Fisk.

  • We have detected no damage to the columbarium.

  • OTIS was on site this week to begin the evaluation process of the elevators.

  • The church's pianos are safe and dry and a specialist will be in for an official evaluation.

  • We are lining up expert consultants to evaluate the seat cushions and woodwork in the sanctuary.
