Hey! Unlike Part 1, I can check more than one box on this one, lol!

We bought a building with a stage inside and a steeple attached, but we've removed the steeple and the stage is coming out during our remodel/expansion over the next year... Our windows get enough streaks from the children without needing to stain the glass. Tore out the benches because they were literally falling apart, and went with padded interlocking chairs to allow for more types of functions in the building (potlucks, weddings, singings, etc, etc). Who/how to rent out the building (or at least the fellowship hall) is still under discussion. We are online through our conference's website. We also have segregated seating in the front half and then mixed seating in the middle and back. It would be a really cold day in Hawaii before we had an American flag in the meetinghouse though.

I didn't check the movable chairs, although we do have more than one (on the platform, and to fill in the wheelchair spaces when not in use for that purpose).
