I rewired the lights on the trees in the sanctuary.
Thursday when I went into church I had a talk with Pastor Jerry and I told him that I needed to find stuff to do for my practicum. He came up with some good ideas; rewire the lights on the trees, make a power point, or read scripture for the service. The last two ideas were a little late notice, so I chose the first idea, rewire the lights on the trees. It took forever! I went to the kitchen to find the new lights and then to the sanctuary. I don’t know who wrapped the lights onto the tree, but I want to punch them in the face… not really. It took about an hour to just take the lights off of the tree because they were wrapped between every branch! I finally got them off and by then Nancy came in and said she had to leave, which means I had to leave too. I guess this is only half of the project, but I’m going back this weekend to finish putting them on so it won’t look dumb. The old lights only worked about half way. The new ones work great! As a result of this practicum, I learned the importance of detail in the way the sanctuary is set up.
