Creation of Children's Play area and small meeting space:

At my previous position as a solo pastor, I was able to convert an unused storage room off of the sanctuary into a children's area/meeting area, for use of visiting children whose parents might want them to have a play area during worship, and for use as a gathering for small meetings. This enabled us to make use a space we had not been using, and use items from around the church which had not been used in some time. It also allowed us to keep the room usable on a continued basis for our regular congregation of older people, while presenting a welcoming area to any children who might visit and attend worship on special Sundays. We did not buy anything special or extra for this, simply cleaned out one room and moved items from the rest of the church building into the space, to create this welcoming and useful area!
