Our ward moved into our new building the first Sunday of 2009. It's so funny to see how many churches there are so close together! Just in our little city of less than 3,000 families we have two stakes, two stake centers and (if i'm counting right) 7 church buildings. It's a far cry from our stake in Naperville. I've decided that it's not better or worse, just different. It sure makes Visiting Teaching easy with everyone living so close!
This is our new nursery room. There are a few changes that are fun. The chalk boards are lower to the ground so the kids can use them and the chairs don't fold so there will be no pinched fingers from the chairs this year!
i got to organize the closets and the toys for both wards. I know that sounds lame, but I really love to organize things, so it was a lot of fun! There are only two wards in our building right now. They meet at 9 and we meet at 1 so there is no overlap at all!! Our ward will be splitting sometime in the near future then we'll be back to three wards in the building. It will be nice to be a smaller ward again, but we will MISS our bishop! We love Bishop Besselievere and are sad that he lives on the other side of the neighborhood! So we're not anxious about the split. It's just an inevitable thing.
