'Before' Picture of the Vestry.
Extra rooms in the new church building are limited, but we were determined to come up with a creative solution to squeeze office space into the church.
This Summer we moved our church offices from rented space in Partick into the church, saving hundreds of pounds a month. The Vestry off the main entrance has become a wee office space for administrative stuff, filing cabinets, the printer, office storage, and message-review on Sundays. During the week we have tables in the sanctuary for staff meetings, team planning, and just simple working.
It has come together nicely, just in time for a busy Autumn of ministry. We were hoping to achieve a more ‘open door’ feel at the building during the week, and so far it’s working. People are dropping by the church, working, planning, doing ministry, building refurbishment, cleaning, chatting, etc. Life is filling the place.
Here are some ‘After’ pics of the wee vestry office. I caught some of Sarah putting together the service folders for Sunday.
