Greetings Friends,
At some point within the next several weeks, we will notice something different in our worship space: a new platform for our Altar and Ambo. The current platforms have served us well for the past six years, but are now showing many signs of wear. The new raised ares, designed and to be build by Roger Mayer, will be large enough for both the Altar and Ambo and will extend back to the wall which will allow for more room for our priest presider and deacon. Roger will incorporate the two existing heating/AC vents into the platform. It will be 1-1/2 inch shorter and will be carpeted only on the top surface with a nice wood finish on the sides. This should make stepping on and off the platform easier for all who minister in any way during liturgy. In addition, at communion time all our Eucharistic ministers, along with our priest and deacon will be able to be on the same level, making ministering communion to each Eucharistic minister and our Servers easier. Through generous donations, the cost to construct this new platform has already been paid for!
As we continue to care for and nourish one another as community, may we always find peace in knowing the abundant and constant Love of God in our lives.
Peace on the Journey
