Little steps of improvement

After prayer on Monday night, several of the men stood on the sidewalk and described what we thought the front of the building would look like next summer. Duane sent me some pictures that helped to explain what he thought that we talked about so I decided to post the progression that we are making in little steps.


Here is where we started from in 2007. The bushes surrounded the front of the building like a moat used to protect castles centuries ago. A precariously perched sign also labeled the building instead of the people.

Here is what the front of the building looks like in 2008. It is clearly more open and inviting and represents a clean slate that we can work with.


Here is just one example of something that we could do in 2009. People have mentioned many elements that could be added like fountains, brooks, and stone walls. When 2009 rolls around, I am sure there will be more ideas from the church and from the community.
