In this Lenten Season, we are called to consider those things we can let go of to make room for something new. We also know there have been many changes and that, though needed and resulting in our growth and renewal at Faith Church, it can be hard to feel like things near and dear to us are going away.
We need to make room for our Youth to have a space all their own (mostly) and the Fellowship Hall is the most likely space. Pastor Carla will be temporarily donating items from her home to set up this space, and also purchasing a ping pong table and other items to make this space special for them.
To do so, we will be moving the pews currently in the Fellowship Hall and are offering first option to give them a new home to our current members. Contact Pastor Carla to claim one of these. Any pews that remain in the Fellowship Hall after March 27th will be placed for sale.
The pew currently on the porch outside the Sanctuary is due for some refurbishment, so members will be seeking to paint and repair this important piece of our history in the coming weeks and engage our young in helping to decorate it. There is a possibility it will be placed on the playground side of the Fellowship Hall to create more seating space for our young and the grownups who supervise them there.
If it is moved, other seating options will be placed on the Sanctuary porch to give good space for persons to gather and fellowship after services. Perhaps a row of rocking chairs (cabled together for security), porch swings, or other seating options? We can honor items that have been part of Faith for a very long time and give them new life while also making even more room for our growing congregation.
