The Mission Church of the Nazarene

   This weekend we are hammering out (literally in some regards) some projects around the church. We are doing our big launch Sunday service on Easter. While we've been holding services, and we are trying to develop relationships organically, it has been very helpful to have a goal day in mind. It gives us a day to shoot for, and something to invite people too. It wasn't in our original plan to have a big launch (and I don't know how "big" this launch will be), but we are learning to go with the flow and find our own rhythm. Every church plant is different. Cultures are different, circumstances are different, finances are different, leadership teams are different, etc. and every one of those factor plays a part in how corporate church worship and community works and is built.
     All of that background to say, we set aside this weekend to get some bigger projects done.
     The mens' restroom faucets have been leaking since we got here. Mac worked hard at replacing them. 

         It works! This update also made the bathroom look much nicer. It's amazing how small and simple details make such a big difference.
          We also are starting to redo the sanctuary. We took the baffles (which were doing nothing) down. Since they were put up with gorilla glue, a lot of work is involved getting the walls ready for painting. The teens this summer have fond memories of scraping this glue off of other areas of the church. That being said, don't use it, unless you want whatever you are gluing to stay there forever. 
      
        Cyndi was a big help scraping glue. It was not an easy job, but it is satisfying to see things coming together.
          Our Christmas decorations also got taken down. It looks empty now, but it'll be transformed over the next few weeks.
         

       Paint colors for the sanctuary are chosen. We have some art pieces to put in. Things are looking great, and we are so excited that in just a couple of months, we'll be sharing this space with our friends, family, and neighbors!
