Sunday, May 15, was a very special day. The first major phase of our sanctuary renovation project was complete and we returned to the renovated sanctuary for our morning worship services that morning. Everyone at the three services was very impressed with the beauty of the sanctuary and with the greatly improved acoustics.

During the service, Dr. Ritter surprised Darrell White, the member of our church who has served as the Project Manager for the renovations, by presenting him with the church's Volunteer of the Year award for his outstanding service to the church during the project.

8 a.m. Sunday morning. Ready to go!

3 of the 4 "expectant fathers" await the beginning of the service.
