A Quick Tour

Hello New Journey family!

I realize that many of you haven't set foot in our church building for almost three months.  Several people have been pouring out their efforts to make our building a beautiful and welcoming space.  I'm a bit overdue in showing you all of the updates, so let me take you on a quick tour!

First, lets start outside.  Many of you know that the parsonage roof had some issues.  In fact, two winters ago, a ceiling collapsed in the parsonage office because of issues with the roof.  Luke and his crew did an excellent job eliminating those issues.  Sorry that I don't have any of the "in process" photos, but here is the finished product.

Now to walk inside the church.

Going through the front door, you'll see these lovely decorations on the entrance walls.



Then, when you get into the foyer, you'll see this lovely new sign on our East wall welcoming people to our building.  It was made by Cut n' Creations here in town, with Nathan and JoAnn making the wood back drop.


On the West wall, you will see this beautiful clock between our stained glass windows.






Where did the couch, chairs, and fireplace decoration go?  We'll get to that in a moment...








On the far wall we have this inviting display.


Notice our fireplace got a contemporary redo.

Here is what the men's bathroom currently looks like.  Thanks Luke!



Walking across the foyer and into our updated fellowship hall, this is what you see.  Notice the new lights, and a couple cozy places to sit and visit.




In the far corner of the fellowship hall, you'll notice a new ramp and doorway.

This leads into our sanctuary where...

...we have a new sound booth being constructed, adding 
a bit more security for the computer and sound equipment.

The Sanctuary walls have been beautifully decorated by our decor team.



When we come together to worship in our sanctuary again, our screen no longer will cover the cross during our worship service.  We also have 131 of our 150 interlocking chairs purchased.  Thank you to everyone who has contributed.

A big thank you to all the volunteers who have poured hours into beautifying our building these last few months!  Holes in bathroom walls have been patched, new lights put in, walls have been painted, the men's bathroom updated, and overall, our space has been made more welcoming!
