least; the ventilation is excellent, and
the acoustics. perfect."
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..
It was a wealth of information about
the.: church and more ,than that, it
manages to impart some of . the
atmosphere of those earlyyears in , the
village. 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.
The book closes with ' the members',
hopes for the future: "Lucknow United,,
Church now moves into a new era ..
confident of God's• abiding love and
presence."
