Stage Construction Begins

Work has begun in earnest inside the new stage addition. With the roof in place overhead, block walls are now being constructed that separate the stage itself from the adjacent floor level storage rooms and stage-level prop room. The large white beam that we all signed Easter weekend can be seen across the top of the stage opening.

Design Update: Gymnasium

A new vision is unfolding for the Redeemer gymnasium. The cinderblock and tile gym completed in the early 1970’s is currently used for a variety of events, from athletics to fellowship to theater. The new vision includes all the existing uses, and the addition of a mid-week family worship program that combines inventive bible studies, teen programs and newly-formatted confirmation classes.

In order to bring this multi-media, multi-dimensional vision to life we will be giving the 1970 gymnasium a major face-lift, including a new floor, new acoustic treatments, new lighting and sound capability, and the cornerstone -- a new worship and performance stage. The elevated stage will be placed on the north wall of the gymnasium. Additional double doors will smooth the movement of visitors and members to and from the gym. New storage and prop rooms will speed the ‘change over’ time as we switch between basketball, worship, coffee hour and theater.

Join us January 19, 2010 when Pastor Mark will offer a “Glimpse of the Future” night to launch the new mid-week family worship program.
