I loaded trucks for 4 years, while I went through HAC, and I had to wear a tie, cuz they promoted me to lower level management.sword said:
Wrecked a few ties, for sure, but it can be done.

Our church building is big & the lobby is big, so big that we have railroad boxcar containers that have been painted and decorated for information stations to highlight different ministries or upcoming events of the church.

As the musician started playing "Come thou Fount", I looked over and was startled to see my oldest daughter (14) playing for my youngest son (10) who was singing. She also took part in the singing of the song.
They were fantastic!

I remember many years ago, my wife and I were visiting Charles Stanley's FBC in Atlanta. When welcoming the visitors, Dr Stanley says, "It's good to have the San Diego Padres players in our service this morning.....".
I was shocked that the Padres were in church before their afternoon game with the Atlanta Braves. FBC regulars seemed to be not so shocked, but I was stunned and have never forgotten that Sunday. Pretty cool!

Are these pictures taken during a regular service or just SS?

Images were captured during the AM service. I am not in this building during SS. As you probably know we have many graded classes in other buildings. This room has one small class of about 200 or so. they all sit on the main floor only.
This is just the English Church, Spanish meets in the old auditorium the one doubled in size in the mid-70s.
I saw a group of believers in a small town. There was a beautiful solo by a young girl playing a ukelele. The congregation sang, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God." I hadn't heard it in a long time. I saw an old woman with tears in her eyes. The last two stanzas are what brought the tears on. I know that because the old woman was me.
"And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
4
That word above all earthly powers,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God?s truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is forever.

Thank you for the clarification. I spent many years at FBCH back in the day in the old sanctuary. This new building looks pretty empty, but it also probably seats way too many people.
I remember Jackie-boy telling us a much bigger number than that.WESLEY said:
Old auditorium supposedly seated 7,000. Jack said he took the choir around on a couple different occasions, and had them actually sit in the seats. Now I'm not sure if he counted Joe Hackett or Steve Huckins as 1 or 2, so there could be some debate on this number even if it actually did happen.
Uncle Harvey said:
I think you're confusing the new and old auditoriums. The new one is suppose to sit 7,000 people bottom and top.

FBC built the 1964 auditorium to seat 2,000. It doubled in 1974-74, so you'd think that it would seat 4,000, but we were told it was 5,000. Then FBC added the mezzanine, TV sections above the hallways and the balcony extensions on the sides----so 6,000 could be a little realistic with families of adults and small children.
The 1964 bldg was very intimate and only measured 100'x100' with a very large choir loft and the large cross in the baptistery. This is the auditorium where my parents were married and Bro Hyles baptized me----great memories!
