Oh the difference a day makes!

The view from the Third Church balconies changed drammatically this morning as trucks pulled in the parking lot and workers off-loaded the pews for our sanctuary. A complete single-seat pew stands near the middle of this picture.

Wood workers have installed and stained the choir risers, and are beginning work on the wainscotting. After the many months of demolition and structural reconstruction, the finishing details are now beginning to take shape.

I can almost hear the refrains of carols and songs, resounding from the rafters... and am excited that we are--step by step--making our way home toward that first Sunday back in our central worship space.

Can you pick out your pew from here?
