The Office to Come

As I was driving over to Tabor church this morning, I contemplated working in new pastor's office. I am just very excited!!! The picture you see to the left was taken from the closet of the office. At this time there is no furniture.

I figured I could grab a table and a chair and get to work. But, without a completed phone jack and access to supplies, it seemed like a stretch. So, I went upstairs to the multipurpose room.

I can say that I am excited for the first time when I can use this new office. There is a great deal to look forward to:

• I will appreciate having a space in the church that allows for complete privacy. I can meet with people knowing that no one else has access to that room.
• My office is right by the entrance to the church. No more searching for the pastor's office!
  
• I can come in to prepare for Sunday services without interruption. It's not that I don't appreciate meeting with people before church.
  

I want to say how appreciative I am in this church for being willing to go forth with this construction project at a time when the economy is down. I am appreciative that they have budgeted for a space for the pastor to have an office. I am blessed and I am thankful for the gifts that God has given us!

As I pulled up to Tabor United Methodist Church this morning, I noticed three work trucks in the parking lot. They were Twohig trucks. I had a hard time containing my excitements because these were the folks that would be installing the carpet for the church.

With the carpet installed, we are one step closer to being able to use our new addition. Except for a just a few cosmetic items, the inside of the addition is done. We have raised some money that has been earmarked for new furniture.

I am looking forward to seeing this new addition in action. Of course I am looking forward to a new office, but I think the additional room will provide us with some wonderful opportunities.

We are currently trying to finalize a date for our celebration of the addition. We wanted to pick a time in the summer when the landscaping will be completed and we can take in the full experience of everything that we have done to improve the church.
