Pastor's Study

A big thanks goes out to Dean & Alice Baugh, Harriet & JR Beatty and Eleanor Jones Sharp for making the new "Pastor's Study" possible. 

If you don't know what I'm talking about here, the board voted to allow me to transform the old storage room on the balcony into an office.  In previous years, Drennon Church has hosted many student pastors who have had to occasionally stay the night at the church because of weather or other reasons.  The church set aside the back of the fellowship hall top floor as an office, with a sofa bed for the pastor and his family, if he had one to bring with him.

When my family arrived last summer, we put a lot of older furniture out into the fellowship hall in order to host our Andy Griffith Bible Study, including the sofa bed.  Folks use that furniture for our meal and study most Wednesdays, and we have a great time.  The office area, though, became little more than a storage room and a location for my son and his friends to play XBOX while we were studying.

The new area, though, in the sanctuary building, will allow us to have an area for small church meetings, for my middle/high school Sunday School class, and especially for pastoral counseling.  We were at the church Wednesday till about 1:30 or so, then went to Eleanor's to drop off some items she has graciously agreed to store, and then my family went back to the church with some furniture.

Be sure to come by and look around--it's pretty exciting for us to have a more official meeting space.
