The Sanctuary

The sanctuary of the Church House measures 40 by 27 feet. The ceilings are wood planks and large wood beams soaring to about 25 feet. There are 39 clear windows on the west side.

Basically it is just one large room with a step up to where the choir would stand and the pastor would preach. On the east end is a 20 feet blue cross (apparently not stained glass). On The opposing end , west, another wood cross that makes up the support for the front of the roof and surrounded by 39 clear windows. We have the cross before us and behind us.

I love the 39 windows. We have our bed placed on the stage area of the sanctuary where the pastor would stand. We wake up to a glorious view ,out the 39 windows ,of clouds and blue skies, shadows and treetops that change with the seasons, and sometimes snow and rain and unexpected gusts of wind and birds flying by. (Other things fly by inside the building, but that is another story.)

I call it my "ever-changing canvas".

It is a privilege to live here.

It is a feeling of totally being surrounded by Christ.
