Grand Opening

Today was our first Sunday in our brand new building. Wow. It was incredible. I have had a super busy week. I along with many, many others worked to move into this new building. The theme rooms had to be built and designed. There are some very creative people in our church with vision and talent to make it all happen. I thank God to be able to call them my friends. It was fun to work along side of them and just be amazed. Today I carried my camera and took pictures of everything. This church is a tool that God is going to use for His glory. I can't wait to watch it all from a front row seat. Here are just a few of my favorite shots from today.


This cross hangs in our new worship center. Each family nailed a spike into the wood. It is absolutely stunning. It is the only decoration in the worship center.


Our new worship center has an actual stage. The screens are huge. The sound this morning was fabulous. We are blessed with very gifted musicians.


The children's rooms are decorated with vibrant murals on the wall and scriptures. The new rooms are big and spacious. We have built in drawers and cabinets to organize our stuff in. The rooms even have bathrooms.


This just about makes me cry. Mr. Winslow is helping Logan with his snack. Notice both arms are in casts. The people in this church are wonderful and I love them.


Isabella preferred not to have her picture taken. That usually does not stop me. We played peek-a-boo during snack time. The best part about being the service co-ordinator is I am not stuck in one room. I get to float around and help out in each room. I get to visit with all of the teachers and the kids. That is my favorite part of the jobI got to hold this baby today and love on him. Eli is cuddly and very kissable. He wanted his picture taken and crawled after me every time put him down. I loved every minute of it.

I can't decide if this is a smile or not.

The Holiday dresses are out in full force. There is nothing sweeter than a little girl in a Christmas dress.


This is the Paradise Pond room. It is for K and 1st grade. They learn about Genesis and the Garden of Eden. A puppet show with light and sound effects is part of the lesson. The trees in this room are built from scratch. they use wood, foam, metal mesh, quick-crete and paint.

The rooms are decorated down to minute details with great care.

This is Knights of The Cross. Sarah goes to this class. They learn about the full armor of God. The wall paper looks just like castle walls. The whole room is rich and luxurious and feels just like a castle.


As you can see we have come a long way from the trailers. They are being cleaned out and will soon be hauled away. Praise God.
