The wood is up for the cross on the entryway. It’s one of the Pastor’s favorite features of the new building. All enter through the sign of the cross, for it is Christ who brought us together, Christ’s sacrifice that saves us, and Christ’s example that inspires us to ministry!
The sound equipment is being delivered and set up, take a look at our new sound board, piano, and setup for the worship team (both on stage). This system is built for All Types of church music, from a band-led modern service, to a choir-led choral service, to a simple hymn sing. It continues to be our goal to offer a wide variety of music at Downs UMC because we have a wide variety of people, and we connect to God in many different ways.
Just a few things are being moved in now as well. We have to be thoughtful about what equipment and items are brought to the new building for a variety of reasons. If you are excited about moving your ministry equipment over, PLEASE CONTACT THE OFFICE. We are asking at this time that all moving be coordinated through the church office, they have a detailed plan and schedule (and some of it needs to wait until other building tasks are completed).
And we want to thank a couple of great volunteers who put some good work in designing the first sign for our church. You may see this up and installed sometime this week!
The church is working hard to try and achieve an October 31st “first Sunday”, but at this time there are still several variables that could change that date. We will let you know as soon as we can be sure when our first worship service will be. That first service will be a very special morning which will start at the old building and then continue in the new one. Thanks to all of our volunteers putting in so much time and effort! May God continue to bless your work, and may the Holy Spirit inhabit these final parts of the building project!
