What should the church look like?

The way I want the church to look - Grace Ouellette (7)

  At Winchester Wesleyan, we once were considering a major building project.   It was not driven by need for additional space (at least not at the present time) but rather by the fact that the present facility has become "tired".  (It is after all, 160 years old)


The church board had been wrestling with this for a while and was - stuck between two options.  We thought that we were getting very close to the point where a recommendation  would be made and acted upon.  In the meantime, we continued to "hum and haw" about what we wanted the finished project to look like.

Finally we had our first "info" night to begin to elicit ideas from outside the board.  One family brought their children, who played quietly during the discussion.  When I arrived at the church the next morning, I found this picture.  Obviously, we have been looking in the wrong place for inspiration.
Because at that moment I suddenly knew: this is also what I want the church to look like.

Thanks Grace!
