Staying cool is no shady deal!

Fellowship happens! At least that is what most pastors really want to happen before and after their church services. However, during the hot summer months and the cold winter ones, having a place to fellowship can be a challenge. This is why CharestCorp just recently completed a beautiful Shade Sail to shield Valley Bible Fellowship’s Congregation from the intense Bakersfield heat.
With help from Tent City, a Fresno-based fabric and awning installer, we successfully created an eye catching accent arbor which combines an attractive look with essential people protection. After completing the project, the response was immediate. Delighted members told our installers that standing on a concrete slab in front of the church in 106 degree heat was overwhelming, but now it is quite manageable under the new Shade sail. They now feel comfortable staying and talking and doing that magical thing called, “Connecting”.
The lesson to learn is that if you want your members to fellowship, then create a space for them and get out of the way…people know how to do the rest?
