Grand Opening of the Ministry House and Art Gallery!

Today is our grand opening – we opened at noon.  I had a million things to finish up, so 4 of the Hayes kids came with me and were a wonderful help.  Not only that, but Nikki hung up 6 of her paintings.  Ryan and her finished up the mural inside – actually, just finished up Jesus – there is still a lot of the mural to finish, but that will come later.  What is soooooo cool is that most of the things in here were donated to us!  I have 3 artist's work displayed (19 paintings) and will be getting more in the next week or so.


On the way to the store to finish up there, I stopped at a couple yard sale and found a wonderful tablecloth, storage shelves, wall racks, and small bookcase (all for $7) that will be perfect for the store.  It’s really coming along!  We opened up and in the afternoon, we had 2 people come through looking at the artwork.  They were complementary of the place.  I know things will start slow.  We couldn’t find a guitar player, so I played my flute for our ‘live music’ night and a few people came in to hang out.  We hope to find musicians that will come in and rotate on a regular basis so that we can have a variety of music on Fri/Sat nights every week.

Our evening gathering - opening night!
