Treehouse Renovation

As many of you already know, our loft which we use for our children's classes, has been under construction for a few weeks.  Changes were needed in order to assure safety for the children and workers with a second exit at the other end in case of a fire.  Here's an interior look at the loft extension.  We're excited about all of the possibilities for this space!  But not as excited as the children are!  :)   
Thank you to Junior Neal and Mike Gayheart who added our color!!  They did a perfect job!!

 Here are some before snapshots....



 And here are a few after shots....

Many, many thanks to Tina Farmer, Kathleen Neal, Hannah Drown, Kody and Kerissa Withers, Barbara Richards, and Dave Poe for their help!!








We have a few outlets to get back together, carpet to go in, a little trimwork, the screen and projector mounted, and we're officially in business!  If you'd like to help with any of this, please let us know!  :)

Christmas Morning

There will be no children's classes on Christmas morning, but the younger ones can snuggle in and join us in the nursery for a special showing of the new Veggie Tales Christmas movie!  Send a snuggly blankie with them!  :)

Church Building

Look what's happening in our backyard!  :)  A new, fenced in playground for the kids is in the works!  Thank you to Gatlin Hines for leading this for his Eagle Scout Project!  The kids are SO excited!



Construction is also nearly done on the extension of the upstairs loft.  Due to fire safety, a second exit was needed.  Soon, our kids will be able to have their space back and it will be safer and more colorful than ever!

Above is the external view, and below is the inside view.

Paint and supplies are up there and waiting, and all walls have been labeled by color.  Anyone can jump up there and put in an hour or two of painting whenever you'd like!  Feel free to get it started!  We will be working together this coming Saturday, Nov. 19th, starting at 8am, for whoever would like to come out then!

Larry and LeAnne Sellers

It was an absolute joy and an honor to have Larry and LeAnne Sellers here tonight as our guests, all the way from the Ivory Coast in West Africa!  What an amazing work they are doing and have done for 27 years; please continue to lift them in your prayers!

Work Day

With our workday coming up, we've listed different tasks we hope to get done and made a workday "tree" in our entryway. There are several small jobs that can even be done on a different day if you are unable to come on 11/19! Please take a peek and grab anything you can help with, and then you'll be free to just jump in once you get here on the 19th! A couple of tags have already been picked up! :) Thank you for helping us take care of all that God has blessed us with!!
