Oh look! They’re painting the yellow sheeting into a dark grey.
Pretty sure the building isn’t actually going to be that color… so I’ll have to ask what that’s all about.
And seriously—how do you even paint behind all that scaffolding?
Oh darn. I can’t run down the length of that scaffolding with all those stacks of white stuff sitting there. Should’ve done that when I had the chance.
Yes, these were my actual thoughts while snapping this pic.
Another view of the scaffolding for you.
But honestly, I can’t stop staring at that periscope-looking pipe hanging out by the fire hydrant.
So. Many. Conspiracy theories.
This is how the secret tunnel to the TCA cafeteria probably starts.
I realized I haven’t snapped a pic from the secret stairwell in a while… so here ya go.
Soon this won’t be the best place for a photo, but in the meantime—check out all those steel pipes. Looks complicated!
Did you ever find the secret stairwell??
Thursday, September 11
[A moment of silence to remember 9/11 and pray for those still carrying the sorrow and loss. I’ll never forget that day. ????]
Hmmm. I wonder what that ditch they’re digging is for?
Ditch? Trench? What’s the difference? Maybe there isn’t one. Like frontage road, service road, feeder road… same same.
I know, I know… my videos are getting longer. But there’s just so. much. to. see!!! ????
This time I almost made a full lap around the building. ????♀️
And let me tell you—walking on an uneven construction site that’s riddled with hazards, while trying to hold my phone semi-still and balance a hard hat on my head (which, by the way, feels exactly like walking with a book balanced up there ????)… it’s a skill.
Video spoiler: I found out what that gray paint is all about!!
Thursday, September 11… later that day…
If you watched the video above, you know what’s going on in these next photos.
Basically, our AMAZING Prime Timers group (that’s our 55+ ministry, meeting once a month for lunch on Thursdays if you’d like to join!) got to sign their names and write scripture and prayers on a beam that will be installed into the new Worship Center.
Because if God doesn’t build it, it doesn’t matter, right?!
(Total paraphrase of Psalm 127:1—the real verse is at the end of this email!)
May you seek the face of the Lord today, and walk in those good works that He prepared beforehand just for you (Eph 2:10).
See y’all next week!
About These Updates
This is a casual, behind-the-scenes look at the Worship Center construction at Trinity. I’m Krista Gordon, Communications Director, armed with a phone camera and curiosity, a pretty consistent track record of confusing water pipes with electrical things, and an AI buddy who helps turn my construction confusion into comedy.
I may not know much about construction, but here’s one thing I do know: as Pastor Eric often reminds us, “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1). Watching this Worship Center rise right outside our offices is a tangible reminder that our true foundation is built on Christ alone.
To Him be all the glory!
