The reformed church of Belt-Schutsloot is nearing completion of a thorough renovation. Anyone who comes to view the church during the new opening on 2 February will see that the church building dating from 1925 in the reed village of Belt-Schutsloot has undergone a complete metamorphosis over the past six months. The old pews are gone, the pulpit disappeared into the container, a new consistory and an extension were built. The Beltigers, religious and non-religious, have worked together to make it happen. Marinus Lok, a retired shipwright, made a new pulpit and chairs replaced the old pews. On Sunday 2 February, churchgoers will once again face their Creator in a brand new church. The house of worship has undergone a renovation costing over 300,000 euros. The paving work began last April and in June construction workers and volunteers entered the building. The dated colours and old-fashioned furnishings made way for a fresh complexion. The churchgoers could follow the church services in the neighbouring village hall.
