Church and Building

Our church is too big for our building. Our building that looks like a resort with our faux stone front with our comfy couches and neutral colored walls. We need some art in here for one thing.

Today we have a 4 hour meeting about our building. Everyone is cramped. There are only two offices in this building etc... But for some reason I find myself not caring too much about it today. I'm fine with whatever they decide. I mean, I would care if they turned it into the Lansing version of WillowCreek or some baptist church. In fact I've spent two years in college on a ministry team. In that span of time I spent time in about 200 baptist churches. I grew up in a church that met in a school for 15 years. I went to a mega-church in Akron for a couple years. And I've always found people there that have been "church" to me. The building has had so little to do with my faith that it's really hard to want to spend time thinking about this.

Of course, I know I'm just tired and cranky and selfish. Because to be kind to people we should be able to fit them into a building where they can worship together.
