The Revealing

I met yesterday with someone who attended the Laurel Bank School, which met in the church building we now hold our services. She gave me some of the history that she knew as well as a couple of photos of the building interior circa early 1950s. It's interesting to see what is behind the curtains and wooden stage which have been in place since the 50s. This is what people in 1894 thought would last generations. Instead it lasted 55 years. We hope to remove some of the stage so that more of the original layout will be visible. We don't have to worry about the war memorial (in front next to the sword-shaped cross), organ, or pulpit - they're gone. But the basic space is still there.
