Building it Right.

Today we went to visit with the pastor at Risen Savior Lutheran church in Basehor, Kansas. Risen Savior is one of the churches that supported Ben during seminary and we were fortunate enough to visit with them in the past.

This time was a little bit different, as we were able to visit their brand new church building. The congregation wanted the new church building to be something that was beautiful and looked...well, like a church.

The result is wonderful.

 Outside

 I love the wooden doors on the entrance. 

 It is hard to see, but over the doors it says Unaltered Augsburg Confession in German. 

 Stained glass Luther's Rose

 Reflection of glass on the floor - the kids thought this was very cool. 

 Baptismal font in the middle of the church. 

 Connor taking the opportunity to remember his baptism - something he loved to do in the Chapel at the seminary.  

 The font. 

 Altar.

It is hard to see, but on the wall as you leave is the Nunc Dimittis.

A week from tomorrow  Ben is going to be preaching at this church so that the pastor can have a Sunday off. We are looking forward to catching up with the congregation again.
