I also liked the idea of the open house. Our ward is being remodeled--perhaps I can suggest to the ward leadership that when it's done they do an open house for the community.

The building is beautiful, and I bet it's created a pretty big stir in the neighborhood. Hopefully some of those open house visitors will come back on a Sunday and attend some meetings.

I was a missionary there in 1990-1992 and we had one chapel in Manhattan for 2 singles wards, 1 family ward and one married ward. It looks like it has sure grown tremendously...

I can't remember why I chose not to. All I can think of is that we talk so reflexively about "the church" when referring to the whole organization ... I don't think I liked that either. For some reason, for me, it becomes easy to get bogged down in terms that can have more than one context/usage and I go out of my way to sidestep them ... which becomes even more awkward.
