Wordful Wednesday - The Gift of Preservation

This structure is will be 99 years old in April. The first church service was the week of the Land Run in Oklahoma in 1889, the congregation broke ground in 1907 and dedicated it in 1910.


It happens to be where we worship every week but it also is a place that I am passionate about preserving. So many want to embrace the new and build huge modern structures. The idea that if you build it..and build it big.. they will come. That may in fact be true as churches try to relate to the young or young at heart.



I however feel that there is much to learn and to gain from embracing what is old and what has lived though the ages. This amazing structure is beautiful but it needs some renovation, some polishing. I am working hard to help the wonderful people of this congregation move forward to preserve this beautiful structure so that in 100 more years, it can still be a viable place of worship.

The beautiful stained glass, the rich woodwork, the working pipe organ and the beautiful stained glass dome. This is the character of not just a building but of several lifetimes of families who gathered to worship God and support each other.

I hope that the dream can be realized!

Abundance is...appreciating what we have and doing all we can to preserve it.
