What is the White Church Gallery?

Mike and Carrie Zaitz are renovating an old Methodist Church in Grindstone City, Michigan. Mike claims he just wanted a place to work on his art. He sold Carrie on it, since she's usually up for adventures. From that happy December of 2011 till now, the investment in time and money has seen the church rebuilt from its glorious bones into a work of art, in progress. Carrie is documenting the process because, well, it's easier to hold a camera than to hold an edging sander. She's done both, because she is having an adventure, but it is Mike who drives this project with his intelligence, talent and energy. Together they are working toward creating an art gallery. A gallery which holds objects of beauty and inspiration, but which always points back to the source, our heavenly Father.

Squeals of Delight!

Remember the quatrefoil window?
Of course we remember it!
Our Amish friends remade it with Cypress wood. It's quite a work of art on its own. But wait, there's more. But just a tease...
That's some tease!
Squeeeeeeee!!!!
This is only a tease, and I'll explain more later, but I couldn't NOT share this with you! I'm so excited I do think I actually squealed when I saw it. I don't believe the church ever had stained glass before, and it's not our intention to turn it into Sainte-Chapelle, but this is so delicious and perfect that my heart pitter-patters. It makes everything seem real. The Church will be a place of art, beauty, and window to God's Unimaginable Greatness.
