Today is Mother's Day. At the close of worship, I meandered through the connector wing (what I now affectionately call the "breezeway" because it is windowless). I couldn't help but think of the children over the years who were taught Bible stories by WPC mothers in the Primary Room; or the mothers who helped their children check out books from the Les Shelton Library; or the mothers who dropped off kids in the Nursery....
Echoes of mothers-through-the-ages spoke out to me today as I tip toed (in my heels, no less) through the rooms that soon will completely disappear. And I don't mind telling you, it made me rather sad. As wonderful and exciting as it is to look forward to our new facility, there are many "precious memories" of time spent in that space. Not just for me, but for the collective whole of WPC. I know you know what I'm talking about. (Que Dolly Parton singing "Precious Memories".... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnQIImqAvLM ).
Here are a few pics of the "breezeway." This time next week, it should be demolished, making way for the new thing God has in store for us.
