Name That Space

From Nancy Pirritano:

The large, multi-purpose space in Phase I needs a name.  This is the space we will all worship in, gather in, play games in, gather in for meetings and food, and have available to the community for things like the “After-School” program.   On Palm Sunday,  March 16, 2008, flyers will be passed out and you will be able to give the Transition Team “name” ideas.  On Sunday, April 13, 2008, everyone in worship for the three services will be able to VOTE  for one of the top (not sure how many that will be) names that are submitted.  A panel of church members will be put together to evaluate the provided names for the final list.  If you’d like to be part of the evaluation team or provide a “name” idea, please email Nancy Pirritano at nancy15@mdappraiser.com or call 410-750-3246.

The Vine

There is a new blog called The Vine and it is for all things worship (and then some). Currently, there is Mandy’s observations from the Large Church Initiative conference that the entire staff went to last week. Check it out at thevine.glenmarchurch.org.

Final & First Services

Well, Andy mentioned this in his sermon, so it must be official. (As long as we stay on the current schedule!) The final services at the Glen Mar Road site will be held on May 4th.  At the end of each service, there will be a “pilgrimage” to the new site for tours and brunch.

The first service at the Montgomery Road (aka New Cut) site, will be May 11th with new service times. Sunday services will be at 8:15, 9:30, and 11:00 and the youth will be preaching at all 3 services (it is Mother’s Day after all) with the Confirmation service held later that day at 4 p.m.  This is going to be a busy and exciting day!

The Grand Opening will  May 18th!

Renovations Continue

Spirit of Faith continues to renovate various areas of the current Glen Mar facilities. Today they began renovations of the Youth Hall. It will take them several weeks to remove old and put up new wall board. They are building a closet to house the exposed A/C unit. They are removing all ceiling tile and light fixtures and will replace with new. They plan to put down new ceramic tile on the floor. They are totally remodeling the two bathrooms in the Youth Hall wing.

Spirit of Faith will be starting

We have just received word that Spirit of Faith is planning their first worship service to start here at the Glen Mar site on June 16.

We will begin to see more activity on the renovations.  The sound and video systems have been making more progress this week with additional installations in the Sanctuary.  They have had painter  and carpet contractors out doing measurements, but no word yet on dates for installation.

We have also had contractors out to measure some sidewalk repair and resurfacing and restriping of the parking lots.  No dates yet.
