makeover @ the fort continues…

the worship area at our newly-acquired fort mckinley campus is lovely as far as traditional worship settings go, but for the purpose of reaching out to new audiences with an updated approach, a makeover is required. our goal: to give the fort’s worship area an updated, fresh and inviting atmosphere while retaining the existing stained-glass, sacramental setting. a tasteful combination of ancient-future. first order of business was a brand new, expanded stage. the existing lectern and pulpit were removed, along with the half-walls that segregated the platform from the floor. a large stage extension was designed, a step down from the existing platform. seven skilled carpenters and 10 hours later we had transformation! next week’s project: mammoth paint job meanwhile, back in the pastor’s office, the lace curtains and feminine furniture had to go. we replaced what we could afford to, leaning heavily on our new ikea just down i-75 and what we couldn’t afford to replace we tried to replicate using our trusty mud-n-spit methods. the finishing touches will come later this week (after i figure out how to acquire them for low low dolla!) mama always said “there’s always a way…actual money is way overrated" ☺
