heritage/prayer room at the Fort



our fort mckinley campus church came to us complete with 100 years of rich history and all the hundreds of photos to prove it. we'd been able to repurpose the wood salvaged from the stage/chancel area of the sanctuary as wainscoting in that room. a new color scheme and vine/burnished metal light fixtures served to enhance the leaded glass windows and we began to see the potential for a "wall of faith" - a creative display of the key photos from the fort's 100 years of history. we purchased and painted squares of drywall, then made sepia copies of all the photos chosen for the project. matching all the photos into the same sepia color scheme was the key to a cohesively designed look. we arranged them in chronological order onto eight drywall squares with room on the 8th for good things yet to come. the "bling" of the project was the use of small pieces of wood trim - salvaged and a few purchased pieces- painted to match the wood and add some visual appeal to the overall display. seeing the legacy of God's work is always cool - but we believe the best is yet to come!
