New & Exciting Delevopments @ Boulevard

So much is happening around here these days that I thought that I would share it with you as a way to keep you in the loop about the stuff that has me excited.

Sunday School
Last week Wiley Elliott informed me that he had completed and "installed" our brand new Puppet stage for our Rotation Sunday School. The stage is something that I have been dreaming about for about a year and thankfully Wiley stepped up and knocked it out taking all the initiative on his own. Roughly 6 feet long, 6 feet high and 3-4 feet wide, this PVC Pipe stage is light but sturdy and once we cover it in fabric we can begin adding puppets to our Rotation Sunday School program.

Youth Ministry
Amy Smith and Ginny Fisher have been working hard on the restoration/redesign of our Youth Room. So far this dynamic duo have begun the process of putting down a coat of primer, identified the items that are to be hauled away, and began the search for replacement items. It is great to have members who take the ball and run with it. It is my bet that once all the clutter and couches are out of that room it will be a great place to hang out.

Chapel

After a long season of fund raising and work Boulevard will be holding its first service in the newly redesigned and renovated Grinsted Chapel. I am honored to be the 1st one to preach and celebrate the Lord's Supper in the Chapel that is not 100% totally finished but fully operational. Every time I pop my head in the Chapel I am struck that the memory of its former self gets a little fainter and fainter and the future of the place gets brighter and brighter. I hope that you will join us for worship on Sunday as we begin a new chapter in the worshiping life of the congregation.
