before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will
appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it, and, above
all, accurately so they will be guided by its light."

to be helpful, caring,

They are things you often take for granted: A
parking lot and an
elevator. But until very
recently, Presbyterian
Church of the
Covenant, didn't have
either.

Smooth asphalt has
replaced a rough dirt
and gravel lot where
drivers dared to park.
“The whole landscape
has changed,” says
Laukoter. “There used
to be a knoll and a
loop where people
parked.”
A congregation member, who chooses
not be publicized, donated much of the work, Laukoter says. But the
parking lot isn't the only thing that makes the church more
accessible. A new elevator was recently added linking the first and
second floors of the complex.
The parking lot and elevator are
just the beginning of an exciting new expansion, Laukoter says. A
new narthex is planned on the north end of the church. And a
meditation garden is in the works near the church's pond.
Cost of the expansion is
“Close to $450,000,”
“We titled the campaign 'Build to
Love,' and the whole basis of our church is 'Living the Love of
Jesus Christ.' The building
campaign is to enable us to do that more so,”
With winter weather around the
corner and some more money needed for the narthex, the construction
is scheduled to start in the spring of 2010.
If you would like to make a donation
for the construction projects or just help the church reach Putnam
County, please telephone
