A thought about the chapel...
Hello All on this chilly morning.
I've been thinking about our space. While I love the upper room - the soft lighting, the skylight, etc. It really is a big classroom. And we have to take everything down and re-create it every two weeks.
If we were to use the chapel - we could create an altar, prayer corner, whatever we want to call it. But it could be a holy space that anyone could use throughout the week. Plus, this would cut down on our set up / take down time. We could easily get rid of the horrible couches and out of tune piano.
On another note... check out the willzhead blog. He mentions Alias (one of my favorite shows) and that they are trying to get away from the self-contained episodes to a more "narrative" approach. Will asks how can we do this for the church? How can we do this for EPIC? Should we have "self-contained" episodes or a "sprawling narrative" that connects all our worship gatherings?
Enough for now. Stay warm and be good.

That would be a good way to better "plan ahead". I think it is a good direction to go after our experiments of the past. It may feel like we were finally settling into our vision of authentic church.
About the chapel: I really like the idea of having a more intimate sacred space that is available throughout the week, not just every 2nd and 4th Sunday. The sanctuary is so large sometimes when I just need a quiet moment to reflect or pray in between things, and the chapel is convenient but a little bit out of the main stream of traffic. I am excited for us to see what the chapel can be for us.
