Trinity United Presbyterian Church recognized it. In recent years there was considerable discussion on how the church could provide adequate facilities for its Sunday School program. There was also an interest in relieving the sanctuary of its role as a multi-purpose room and fellowship hall. At one point, the Trinity session authorized an architect to prepare a plan for a Christian education building. The congregation even con- sidered a proposal to build a $240,000 structure. Then, only short months later, the ‘Miracle Building’ was discovered by Trinity’s pastor, the Rev. Andrew Pillarella. During the massive flood recovery work following Wyoming Valley's 1972 Susquehanna River flood, federally financed modular buildings were providéd to school districts incurring damage. One of the modular structures, a 26 by 108 foot building complete with electrical, plumbing and heating installations, became available for a nominal price in the Wyoming Valley West school district. The "Trinity congregation quickly authorized the purchase of the building and a budget of $50,000 to relocate and rebuild the structure on the Trinity site in Dallas. An now the church has nearly completed a new building, valued conservatively at nearly $200,000, thanks to the donated help of the congregation’s members and the generous assistance of the con- tractor who constructed the original church. There have been significant modifications on the modular structure. -An excavation was made at the Trinity site and a 26 by 36 foot basement with garage access was installed. -The original roofline was eliminated and a new roof installed to match the pitch of the existing roofline of the church. -The size of the structure was expanded to 26 by 136 from the original 26 by 108. And a Thank you 20 by 18 vestibule linking the new building to the church was constructed. -New siding and brick for architectural enhancement was added as were new doors for the vestibule tie-in to the church. -Windows were staggered on opposite sides of the building rather than lined up on one wall as in the school installation. -Lavatory facilities were centralized: And a new kitchen was added. And now the ‘Miracle Building’ needs the financial support of the Trinity membership and friends of the church. The goal is modest, only . $85,000 over three years, and includes not only the bwilding and modifications described, but also a number of other The Rev.
