Poplar Head's Saunctuary Being Renovated |
|
The congregation of Poplar Head UMC feels that it is faithfully
answering its call to make disciples by expanding the sanctuary.
For decades the little sanctuary has been a worship home for 50-80
people at a time. When the renovation is completed it will seat
150 comfortably. With the ceiling being raised over half a foot,
new sound equipment, carpet, pew fabric and custom made chancel rail the
holy hall will not only be spacey, but beautiful as well.

Not only is the congregation adapting the look of its sanctuary, it is
also enhancing its style of worship. The keyboard and drums you
see in the picture are played about one Sunday a month along with acoustic
and electric guitars. This addition has been a major attraction
to the young adults and youth of the community. With the
elders remaining open to the change, some actually embracing it, the
praise band's sanctuary time is sure to increase.

Progress on Sanctuary Continues
|
J.B. and Wayne Jones, brothers and members of Poplar Head, have
recently designed and built the new chancel rail. The
gothic design on the panels of the rail match the design of the Pulpit
and altar. The columns and frame in the background, also built
by the Jones brothers, were designed by Rose Lee Burwell, a frequent
attendee of worship at Poplar Head. Check out the "before
and after" chancel rail photos below. Each new step of
progress enhances the beauty of the sanctuary. We can't wait to
see the finished product.
