the future of the Our Savior Lutheran church

Years, ago, when I used to live in Port Jefferson, N.Y., there were a few times I've gone to this church in Centereach ny, for a Sunday Worship, but the  public busses didn't run on Sundays, so my mom had driven me. It's a very nice church, and the room of worship is very peaceful and holy. I especially loved the hanging lanterns from the ceiling as they gave off a pleasant glow. So I've come across the church's website and checked it out for lost memories, and have discovered their future plans for their church.  Their model shows that the church buildings will probably expand and get all modern, but what really got me upset is that it looks like they may take down their decorative bell that's on their roof. It's a very memorable bell, as that's where their church bell music was heard whenever it rang. I've discovered that their electronic carillon system was a Scotia bell electronic carillon system, as the photo of the system I saw on the internet, is what I remember seeing on a visit I made there once. The bells sadly no longer play, as an article in the Town Crier of Port Jefferson station ny, once had an article about the bells of this church being silenced, as people had called the  church to complain that the bells were loud and disturbing and needed to be turned off immediately. As a kid, I remember that whenever my dad drove us in the car past that church, he called it the talking bell, as when my sister and I talked to it from the car, the bell would ring it's song. We actually thought that the  bell was talking to us. Anyway, I guess it's just my opinion, and that the church as it is now is very historic and memorable, to lots of people. So why tear it all down, to build up a new church with modern buildings and such when it was perfectly fine the way it is now. Sure they've added on a building for the gymnasium, but do we really need that much more, and maybe they should have the church bells ringing again, but maybe not play them soo loud, but at a softer volume, so it won't disturb anyone in the community.
