What a beautiful mess! It may have taken approximately 15 years of ownership and almost 3 years of our presence but we are finally seeing some progress on the building. The peg board has left the auditorium! Walls are coming down! Plans for a Nursery, Office, Sound Booth and Kithchen are underway. YES! I said KITHCHEN! It won't all be finished in time for Mother's Day but Wantulok boys are converging on site May 8th (Watch out Strawberry Festival). They are coming early in the morning, some coming in the afternoon and others coming in the evening. The plan is to have drywall up in the sancturay for Mother's Day! Yeah!
If you are a perfectionist - you better get there to put in your two cents. There are still plenty of needs to put working hands into business. Hurry, or you will miss out on the demolition. Reconstruction is about to begin.
Those who gather get prepared. Noah's Ark theme is the thought for the Nursery. Functioning is the thought for the Kitchen. There will be additional needs for the kitchen.
What next? How about a washer and dryer so we can clean the towels at church? Carpet? Matching Pews? How about the parking lot or a play yard for the children? Who knows?
Come join in the fun before the "happening" passes!
PS - The storms brought in approximately 20 visitors while we were working on Saturday night. (They were families with young children, Sister Meredith.) It was as if the sirens were making the announcement - come to church and see what is happening! Most all of these visitors live within walking distance of the church and had no idea that a church occupied the building. They know now! The Bell's had talked about coming to the church to ride out the storm - God was going to see that the church doors were open to received people. Oh - and the storm broke up just before it arrived at the Bald Knob area. Imagine that!
WATCH OUR PROGRESS!
