White Church Gallery: Thomas

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.

Wood, Lovely Wood

We've started working on the front piece. Grindstone Mike has taken to calling it a riser. Mainly because it rises up in the front.

Yeah, but I thought choirs stood on risers!

Maybe someday a choir will stand here, but for now, it needs a facelift.
We have acquired lots of wood from our Amish friends, and it has been drying for some time.
