There have been many repairs and renovations done to the church since that day almost 100 years ago. There has been the installation of several furnaces, ,gas and electric lighting, and roof work a number of. times. Some of the most' recent work has been on the roof and at the same time a new front entrance was constructed. "A, major, renovation program has commenced to the front entrance of the church as Well 'as major repairs to the church roof,. Total cost of the project will be about $25,000. "Roof• and window repair, . painting and pointing is expected to cost in the neighbourhood of $10.,000. "The renovation to the front entrance will include a roof loweringwhich will ,be extended over the front steps. The new entrance will be of glass and bronzed aluminum which' will improve the front appearance of the church. Cost of this work. is $15,000." Six years before this:the construction on church property of the manse and the Christian Education wing was under- - taken. ' The manse had 'originally been on Outram Street but. a vote by the congre- gation on Jan: 25, 19.68 gave the OK, to go ahead with building the minister's . new' home when in Lucknow. ' ' "The proposal will include the removal of the present church house, ,(where Sunday School classes had been held), the construction of a new manse on the site, a building link from the present church tothe manse which would contain classrooms,. washroom facilities and a passageway. The entire basement of .the manse would' ' be comprised of ' Sunday School class- rooms,separated from the living quarters' upstairs' by sound proof con= struction. Plans would call for an'addi- tional north -side entrance into the church with 'practically no steps .to climb, as many find the present main • entrance difficult because of the numer- ous.steps." "Overall cost of themanse-Sunday Schooll.cgmbination project has roughly been estimated'at $50,000." Just -.as their forebearers quickly acted upon' their decision to build a church, church members in 1968. turned the sod .in May and completed' the' - project''so that Revered Laird . S'tir'ling and his family Moved in that December. The largest project since that time. and the addition of the modern style front has ,been the compilation of the book, "What.,Do Those Stones Mean To/ You?„ Hours and hours of research of the Church minute ' books, the United Church 'Archives in Toronto and. issues of the Lucknow Sentinel preserved on microfilm in the Goderich library..

Anyone belonging to the United Church of Canada; or local residents, • ' • will find the book an interesting study: `As the church building enters into its ' second century, the .congregation will - bet celebrating its 125th anniversary in twit) years.
