St. Philopateer Coptic Orthodox Church is expanding its campus to include a new social hall. The building, located next door to the church at 1440 E. Campbell Road, Richardson, is a former Golden Corral. The space will be renovated to use for the church’s after-service gathering on Sundays as well as for events, such as birthdays and wedding receptions. The renovations will also include the addition of five Sunday School classrooms and a commercial kitchen. A spokesperson for the church said they expect construction to be complete by the end of May. 972-669-2050. www.stphilopateerdallas.org
