The saying that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb is proving itself to be backward this year! Today's frigid temps, sleet, snow and rain make sitting by this evening's fire feel like a perfect ending to a cold, raw day.
It isn't cold on the outside only, though. With the furniture and contents emptied from the connector wing libraries, choir room, and nursery, that part of the church is COLD! People walking through can't help but quicken their pace on their way from the education wing to the sanctuary! And don't even mention the bathrooms! Reminds me of some outhouses I've been privy to (pun intended) in the middle of winter! Brrr!
I've included a picture of the bare hallway...does it feel cold to you?
On a much warmer note, the transition Nursery is now in an upstairs classroom. Many thanks to Holly and little Owen Heine, Ray Powell, and Abbie Funkhouser for creating a welcoming space for our tiny ones! Look for the picture of the new Nursery closet ~ Ray did some great handywork in making a special child size shelf for toys!
The new choir space in the parlor is outfitted with a specially designed closet by John Coleman. What great carpenters we have!
Be sure to check out the library space in the Narthex and parlor! Librarian Vicky Germroth has made sure books are available for checking out. We have lots of new resources, so make use of the creative "new" libraries!
As we eagerly wait for construction to begin, let us be grateful to God for the gift of flexibility. We're doing a lot of improvising in space and function ~ flexibility is the name of the game!
A favor: please email this blog to members and friends of the congregation who live away from Woodstock. We want everyone to stay informed of our progress! Thanks!
