It has been quite a month here in Baltimore!
We have watched how our space has transitioned from an office that has been vacant for years collecting garbage, left over building supplies, and falling victim to water leaks and general disrepair.
On January 3rd we began to clean out the space. We removed broken down desks, moldy carpet, and some things we would prefer not to talk about. With two trucks running back and forth to the dump, we made serious headway in clearing out the years of debris. At the end of the day the space was mostly cleared out, we had a new bathroom sink, and some of us were discovering muscles in places we did not know existed.
The next week found us patching ceilings, removing the subfloor, and breaking a crow bar as we attempted to remove nails from the concrete floor. When we finally had the space ready to paint Metanoia, one of our partner churches, blessed us by sending a work team out to put fresh paint on our walls. The team worked hard and at the end of the day the majority of our painting was done. Garden people spent the rest of the week painting, and getting ready lay down the new flooring.
This past Saturday found to more teams working with us to lay our new flooring down. We’re excited that after a month’s worth of work we will be moving into our new space this week and will open the space Sunday morning at 10:30 with our Garden worship gathering. If you are in the area, we would love to have you join us for a celebration of God’s goodness to us.
