Demolition day launches work on new building

Demolition day launches work on new building

St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Hurst, spent Saturday, June 7, 2014, tearing out the interior of their new building at 463 Harwood Drive in Hurst.

“We’re tearing out the old and putting in the new,” said Vernon Gotcher, priest in charge. Gotcher was the founding rector of St. Stephen’s in 1966.

Fueled by waffles and coffee, the volunteer crew made short work of ripping out the old interior and preparing the space for its renovation into a new home for St. Stephen’s. Presently they are worshiping in a wedding chapel which they rent only for a few hours on Sunday morning. The new space will allow them access 24/7. They hope to be in the new building by the end of the summer.
