Solving the Storage Headache
Whoever has enough storage space? The problem is compounded if the church meets in rented facilities. Anyone who has lugged hymn books or teaching supplies in cardboard boxes for very many weeks knows the frustration. After two years of hauling, Milton Baptist Church in Ontario finally took action. "We got permission from the landlord to keep a large cupboard on wheels in an equipment locker beside the auditorium," Pastor Kelvin Mutter explains. "One of our men designed the trolley and another built it." The cart is about three feet high, four feet long, and three feet wide, with gull-wing doors that lift up. On the inside of one door is a bulletin board; on the other is a chalkboard. Running lengthwise through the middle is a long compartment for nursery equipment. Both outsides have shelving for 120 hymnals plus other resources. All three doors have locks. "Now instead of carrying endless armloads from our cars," says the pastor, "we simply roll out our invention, unlock it, and have everything we need to function. It has greatly simplified the task of setting up and putting away." No wonder it has gained the nickname "The Jolly Trolley."
