First Sunday

The first Sunday at the new church was good. We didn't have Sunday School; rather, we had coffee and cookies and a chance for everyone to explore the new building. It was nice, and next week I don't have to spend the Sunday School hour explaining to everyone where their rooms are!

The library is sort of ready to go, meaning that the books are on the shelves, but not sorted. We needed the room already for extra seating for the after-the-service luncheon, so we had to get the 40-something boxes out of the way! There are 2 students who have already chosen what books they will check out when we open for business next Sunday, and one of them alphabetized the Christian Heroes Then and Now series for us. I've already recruited him to help organize things starting next Sunday.

The sanctuary is a good size. We thought originally that we would have to have 2 services to fit everyone, but it turned out bigger than anyone thought, so we fit in with room to spare, and the plan to build 3 tiers of seating in the small balcony so we can fit in even more people.

The best part, apart from "God has blessed us with a wonderful building" is "we never have to move the church again"!
