A couple of years ago we installed these praise figures (above) in our fellowship hall. There are four in total. Our FirstLight worship service had been taking place in there for some time and we felt the need to make the room feel more like a worship space. Fred Barkley designed the figures and with the arts team fabricated them out of foam core board and textured paint. They have become an important if understated part of the room.
Late last year the idea surfaced of replicating the figures somehow for the exterior of our facility. Gene Schimpf had the materials and the equipment to fashion them in stainless steel. Kent Patton recently installed them outside our rear door, where a great number of FirstLight worshipers enter. We are thankful for those named here who have brought about this project, and all who prayed this most recent installation into being.
