This week, we had some obstacles when it came to setting up for church. Just like anyone who uses a rented facility, we have to work with the tenant. We have to work with how the preschool set things up and leave them. For the past few weeks, the school has been gearing up for another year and have piled all of their books together to sort for the classrooms. They left them on the tables and the ground and we’ll move the boxes to setup.
This week, we had 2 major things happening. First, they were cleaning the tile in the entrance and moved everything into the space we use for EKids. Second, they had more books and boxes scattered where we would setup our stage and chairs. Here’s what it looked like when we showed up:
Our crew could have griped and moaned, but they decided to change things up a bit. Instead of moving all the school’s boxes and stuff, they simply blocked off the space and we had our Sunday experience with a different look and feel. It was more intimate and change is a good thing. I am so proud of our setup team for doing their best to arrange things so that people can come into Elevation and feel welcome. Their weekly sacrifice creates a welcome environment so that people far from God can know Him and grow in Him. Thanks guys!
