Sanctuary Team Process

• What is the atmosphere of worship? Does it
  honor God? Does it distract?
• Does it help usher us into His presence? Are
  we being good stewards?
• Exodus 312-5.
• See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son
  of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled
  him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with
  understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds
  of skillsto make artistic designs for work in
  gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones,
  to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of
  crafts.
• 1 Peter 25 9-10
• you also, like living stones, are being built
  into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood,
  offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God
  through Jesus Christ...But you are a chosen
  people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's
  special possession, that you may declare the
  praises of Him who called you out of darkness
  into His marvelous light. Once you were not a
  people, but now you are the people of God once
  you had not received mercy, but now you have
  received mercy.

Sanctuary Team Vision

• Our primary goal is to create a holy space, set
  apart for
• worship and prayer. A tabernacle for His
  presence.
• Create and re-create a flexible space that can
  accommodate more people in a variety of ways,
  drawing them into the presence of the God.
• Grow in listening to the Holy Spirit and have
  that reflected in our worship environment.
  Align our space in the direction God is taking
  us.
• Create a space for visual arts, musical,
  dance, movement and drama in worship.
• Develop a space that is conducive to a variety
  of seasons and movements of God as the Holy
  Spirit leads.
