New Westerly Road Church Honors Land and Values of the Community
To the Editor:
On November 11, Westerly Road Church will hold a ground-breaking ceremony for the new construction of a church in Princeton. For a long time our thriving church has exceeded capacity in our current location and after years of discussion, deliberation, and input from the community, we have an approved design that is a credit to Princeton. The church (on Bunn Drive and Herrontown Road) is an applicant for the SmartGrowth designation and has been designed for sustainability, efficiency, practicality, and beauty. With an efficient design that will be LEED certified and a tight footprint that allows for the preservation of the remaining 7.5 acres as a protected environmental easement, it’s a project that honors the land, the values of the community, and our faith convictions.
We offer our heartfelt thanks to the Princeton community, public officials, and the Township staff for your support and hard work on this project. We extend an invitation to the community to join us for the ground-breaking ceremony on Sunday, November 11 at 2 p.m. (at the Bunn Drive site), and to join us for worship in our new facility in late 2013 — until then, you will always be warmly welcomed at our current location on Westerly Road.
