lansing-correctional facility?

today our chapel visit journeys took us out of the state for the first time...lansing, michigan.
our savior lutheran church was formerly located on w holmes road, which is where our directions led us.
the first time we drove past and celine said "i think that's it" but we kept going because there was no sign. after turning around several times, we decided to stop and see if it wasn't it, but the sign was just gone. we went in only to find a security guard and an x-ray belt/metal detector...is this "our savior?"...the obvious response was "no, they moved..." all the guard was able to tell us was that it was further down the road. we made our way in the right direction while calling for directions-only to find out that the 7000 addressed didn't necessarily exist between the 6000 addresses and 8000 addresses. after turning around at least 3 times again, we called to get a response of "oh! the numbers don't go in order!" ha. we scooted into our savior lutheran with mere minutes to spare. the little kid who i got to volunteer to eat an "abundance of cookies" wasn't hungry. haha. the bew building that the church and school are in is awe-inspiring and beautiful. it has wood carvings in the foyer and sanctuary that were hand crafted by congregation members alongside a mass series of breath-taking stain glass windows that tell 30+ different stories from the old/new testament. i only wish we could have had more time to take them in.
lastly, we saw the 1st graders preparing to lead chapel the next week. it was simply beautiful. the ride home entailed a stop at biggby coffee and a stop to buy 15 brooms at dollar general (if you've never checked out a mass quantity of brooms, you should try it!).
