Changes in the Sanctuary

April 4, 2007 by Larry Resch.

If you looked around the sanctuary recently, you may have noticed some changes — new speakers in the front of the church, stage lighting along the sides and back, and a new sound board in the narthex.

In the near (?) future, we can expect to see the wall behind the cross resurfaced with a rock facing similar to what is in the lobby area; reduction in the size of the lower chancel platform and “reengineering” of the chancel railing to be an easy to remove railing; removal of pulpit; addition of window treatments; replacement of pews with comfortable chairs to allow flexibility in the Sanctuary layout and more seating; painting of all walls; new carpet; and a new ceiling in the Narthex.

It is also rumored that both lobbies will be repainted with new ceilings and marble flooring.

I’m excited about the face lift the building will be getting and the fact that God is moving us forward on our new site. This move is going to be like a roller coaster — we may not feel like we are in control (we’re not, God is), it will be both scary and exciting, and now that we have started the ride, let’s sit back and enjoy it because wherever God is leading us, it’s going to be great when we get there!
