Colonial Revival:  On the Move!

We have started a project of love and service in the church as we spruce up various areas and work together to reach out to others! 

Many spaces in the church have hints of Colonial elements--and we ARE on Colonial Road, after all!  So we are going with a Colonial Revival theme--light, airy paint colors; colonial trim and moldings; black or gold frames for pictures; black curtain rods and fixtures to mimic Colonial ironwork; substantial blinds to mimic Colonial shutters in the rooms where they are needed; and beautiful fabrics for our curtains that are reminiscent of some of the patterns and new dye techniques in the Colonial era.

We will be trying to visually unify areas of the church, provide areas for visitor materials, and create opportunities for fellowship.  In many ways, we can build strength and fellowship from within and reach out to those who come into the church building throughout each week by showing warmth and welcome in every corner!  Many projects await us this spring!  Please join us!
