Last Week… Friday, January 2
Look! They’re planting trees!! ????
Don’t see them?
Hang on…
Ah. There they are.
As usual, some super professional image-drawing skills save the day. ✍️????
Look—a very, very short walking trail.
No, wait. A pebble slide!
NO—A ROCK LAZY RIVER!!!
Just kidding. It’s a drainage path—so we don’t have to walk through puddles on our way to church. ????????♀️
Drainage is so booooooring.
My ideas were clearly better.
Hmmm… whatcha think they’ll use those tiny glass panes for?
Do we have plans for itty-bitty windows somewhere? ????
And if you look up… lights!! ????
Anyone else already picturing summer evenings in this space?
Because yes, please.
Our lobby is starting to look goooood!!! ????
Try to picture it without construction dust and lifts.
I can’t tell if the white paint is going UP…
…or if the tan paint is coming DOWN.
Any guesses? ????????
Communion prep room (or whatever this room is actually for).
Ah yes. A lone pipe. Standing in the middle of the floor. As one does.
Checking out the women’s restroom.
It’s actually really pretty. More than the guys’ bathroom.
Not a competition. I just… noticed.
(Okay, maybe feeling a tiiiiiny bit of competitiveness here.) ????????♀️
Worship Center stage update.
Is that black paint coming all the way down this wall?
We shall see… ????
Back wall of the Worship Center.
Once again, I can’t tell if the paint is going up… or coming down. ????♀️
Sound booth update.
Still no sound. Plenty of booth.
Meanwhile…
While the new space keeps moving forward, the Kids Ministry building is getting some love, too. ????
Take a look:
Ready for crayons, giggles, and busy Sundays.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!!!
Here’s the video from last Friday, January 2.
I have another video below… and there are some marked differences between the 2 walk-though tours. See if you can spot them!
Monday, January 5
A parking lot tree! ????
Future us, sitting in our cars in August, says THANK YOU.
Wednesday, January 7
Aww man… they put plants in my rock lazy river.
My dreams are crushed. ????
Thursday, January 8
Lights in the lobby!
Makes me want to see if they swing when you hit them with an escaped balloon ????
Kids Blast feels like the ideal time to test this theory without drawing suspicion.
Don’t tell Shanen.
(She’s the Kids Director.)
Meet Marian—my partner in construction crime.
She’s our Local Outreach Coordinator, genuinely great to work with, and surprisingly knowledgeable about construction.
I contribute enthusiasm.
And wildly inaccurate guesses. ????
BONUS VIDEO!! ????
Yes, this is a first in our construction updates with TWO. COUNT THEM. T.W.O. videos.
This walkthrough includes things you haven’t seen in photos yet:
– Cabinetry going into the communion prep room (still not sure that’s the real name…)
– Fresh woodwork inside the Worship Center
– Marian backstage in pink ????
You’ll only see this footage here.
Enjoy the sneak peek ????
See you at the next update!!
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!
