New Pentecostal church opens, Sunday
Involvenient of eongregvtion addsto scitlsfietlon
fulfillment of otlr vision is most grati-
fying", Pastor Donnan, said.
Exeter Pentecostal Tabernacle
pastor Rev. Bob Donnan repeated the
words of King' David from 1
Chronicles 22:19 when the first sod
was turned on a bitingly cold Sunday
in March to begin construction of a
new church on Highway 4 just south
of the town limits.
"Arise and build the sanctuary of
the Lord God", Donnan quoted, and
that. is exactly what the church
members did. Less than six months
later, the.first service was held in the
large, well-designed, attractive
edifice.
The contract with Don Hawkey
Construction had called for 2,000
hours of volunteer labour. Approx-
imately 80 members of the congrega-
tion donated their services. Men'
helped with everything from excava-
tion to putting the steeple in place.
They assisted with tile drainage in-
stallation, framing and building, and
putting sheeting on the roof.
The women of the congregation
spent countless hours cutting out and
sewing together choir gowns design-
ed by Caroline Perry.
Both sexes pooled their talents on
the decorating. A committee compos-
ed of Brenda Treibner, Shirley Perry,
Marlene Hayter, Dave Beiman and
Gerry Fergusson chose exterior
bricks and shingles, terracotta in-
terior wall paint, the grey -brown
carpeting, steel blue upholstery on the
oak pews, and the pale rose sanctuary
curtains.

choice has resulted in a warmly in-
viting sanctuary and foyer.
The arresting brass and glass wall
and ceiling light fixtures were chosen
by the board members.
Both men and women wielded
brushes to paint every wall in the
Church. Both washed windows,
scraped the gym floor, and vacuum-
ed the entire 19,700 square footage
three times as excess stucco from the
ceilings flew out through the air con-
ditioning system.
The congregation has increased
each Sunday since the first service on
September 8, the sanctuary can ac-
commodate 413, and an overflow area
will seat another 30. Two courtesy
cars are a phone call away for those
needing a ride to a Sunday service.
A video screen will be in place on
November 17 in the spacious
fellowship hall on the lower level to
seat some of the large crowd expected
to attend the official dedication
ceremony.
The lower level also contains a
gymnasium that can seat 325 at a ban -
Circus heads
for the theatre
Barnum, the blockbuster musical
celebrating P.T. Barnum's rise to cir-
cus immortality, opens at the Grand
Theatre on November 25 and will run
until December 14. Starring in the
Grand's 1985/86 holiday production
are Rick Scott as Phineas T. Barnum
and Jayne Lewis as his wife, Chari-
ty, under the direction of Artistic
Director Don Shipley.
Barnum is a co -production with the
Manitoba Theatre Centre in Winnipeg
where it has been running since Oc-
tober 17. It closes there on November
9.
Barnum was originally produced on
the Broadway Stage in 1980, winning
three Tony Awards and enthusiastic
praise from critics and audiences
alike. With music by Cy Coleman,
lyrics by Michael Stewart and book
by Mark Bramble, the career of
America's greatest showman is col-
ourfully traced from 1835 to 1881 when
he joined James A. Bailey to form
'The Greatest Show on Earth'.
Artistic Director DON SHIPLEY
has created a production simply
bursting' with melodies, marches,
ragtime and burlesque. He directed
last season's The Music Cure/Piaf
Encore!, Captivatin' Cole and Joe
Egg and he will direct the Grand's up-
coming production of Passion before
finishing his term as Artistic Direc-
tor on January 10.
