The previous information about the hidden wall needs to be revised. In talking to people who read the earlier blog, I have come upon some new facts. The son of a previous minister was talking to his dad about the wall and the dad said he remembered the wall being lowered for a specific funeral. Not sure why, but as far as the memory goes, it was probably in the early 80's. So the wall that I thought had been hidden away for 60+ years was seen (we think) about 25 years ago. It is still a fascinating feature of our sanctuary.
You may have noticed a gouge in the right side of the wall. I was told that a paint can was lodged in the track and as the wall was being lowered, it caused the hole in the wall. It can be repaired (patched) and we have even found some similar material in a storage area upstairs.
Folks are talking about painting the wall and it will need to be done eventually, but I hope we don't rush into anything. Sorry about the inaccurate info. But now you know the truth, as I know it.
