Several years ago Eddie Kirkland was kind enough to come and lead a worship workshop for our High School Ministry worship leaders. In one of his sessions he said that cathedrals re-size us. And it is true!
When you step through the massive doors and hear the echo of your shoes on the marble floor; and as you gaze down the long corridors lined with some of the greatest art ever created by man, and crane your neck to view the dome--you realize how small and insignificant you are and how BIG God is.
Architecture, design and decor communicate.
That's why a work day at The Stone Church isn't just about painting some walls, staining a deck, organizing a shed, and pulling some weeds. It really matters.
We want people who come that night to not only enjoy some sweet tea, lemonade and homemade pies--we want them to feel something different. We want them to sense the presence of God in this place and in the people. We want them to see a clean, inviting and warm space for their kids to grow up and to know God; and we want them to feel like they might belong here.
We are so grateful for the Sloans, Kelleys, Shaws, Figueroas, and the Rogers as well as Shane Harper and his crew of strong backs: Clark, Antley, and Vaughn. They've all made the trip up I-75 to Cartersville to lend a hand to those of us at The Stone Church who are working diligently to get the place ready for an Open House on Sunday, August 18th.
There is still a great deal of work to be done! We have Work Day #3 scheduled for Saturday, August 17th. We'd love to have you come be a part of what is happening here.
Please let us know if you plan on attending so that we can plan our work accordingly (and of course have enough food to feed you!)
(By the way--thank you Ms. Jean and Ms. Wanda for the Chocolate Chip Cookie! We were supposed to share that a lunch!)
