Pardon my ignorance, Gwen W. I was not aware that this building was under re-construction. It is pleasing to know that it is coming back to life for such a noble purpose. I look forward to hearing more about further developments occurring in your worship center. I entertain the thought of sharing in service possibly at one of your services. It’s a beautiful building with so many possibilities. May God continue to bless your work in the community.

I see the building in its present state and think how sad to allow such a once grand edifice to die a slow tortuous death. I’ve been in the building just once in my life and have been moved by what it could be, but also saddened by what appears to be its only fate, that of an eventual destruction due to its location in the heart of the black urban community, as well as there being no real desire to keep it alive.

It’s a throw back to a time where people in the community cannot have an appreciation for it. I long to just see photos of it in its hey day. I’m certain it must have been a thing to behold.
