Thanks to a film developed by 3M, the glass can also appear yellow, green or an array of other colors depending on the viewer’s perspective. Tim Hart-Andersen, Westminster’s senior pastor, calls it “stained glass for the 21st century.”
“It’s dynamic. It interacts with you, but you can see out and people can see in. This is an expression of what we want to be as a church,” he said.
Westminster has been at work for the past five years preparing a modern expansion of its 19th century campus that will bring new worship spaces, classrooms and, most importantly for the organization, parking.
In 2012, a gift from a church member focused on acquiring parking jumpstarted what would become an $81.5 million project consisting of buying a neighboring site, demolishing two buildings, designing the expansion and bringing in community partners.
This is one of several additions to the Nicollet Mall campus over its 160-year history, but Hart-Andersen said it was one of the quickest. The roughly 40,000-square-foot expansion fills up Westminster’s block along 12th Street between Nicollet and Marquette.
“It took us a century to fill up a half block. We’re filling up the next half block in five years,” he said.
The addition features 300 parking spaces spread across two levels of underground parking, which will increase the church’s parking by five times.
The first floor has several flexible classroom and worship spaces. There’s a small meditation or prayer room with views of Nicollet Mall.
A large performance hall that Hart-Andersen called “the clearing” is a space designed for both quiet, individual prayer and new Sunday evening worship services with a band.
The large, wood-clad room can also be used as an event space for weddings or even pre-Super Bowl events. Westminster is working with the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee on a Jan. 28 Bold Hope in the North fundraiser that will have feature music and community choirs.
The space will have an inaugural concert on March 2 with Cantus, a men’s vocal ensemble that practices at the church.
The second floor is devoted to community partners like St. David’s Center for Child & Family Development, an organization that serves 3,000 children and teens. Its space inside the building will focus on supporting children who have faced significant adversity and trauma and who are at risk of out-of-home placement.
Outside the building are two public green spaces fronting Nicollet and Marquette avenues that will help to collect thousands of gallons of rainwater, which is filtered down into the parking structure and used throughout the building. The project’s green initiatives were made possible with funding from the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization and Metropolitan Council.
“We’re thinking 50, 100 years out, creating spaces that are functional and flexible for the generations to come,” Hart-Andersen said.
A key element to the expansion is its design, which features updated uses for the four building materials of the church: glass, stone, metal and wood.
A tower on top of the building features an open version of the church tower. The new rooms feature fixtures with metal accents, clean wood flooring and large glass windows. A skyway connection physically connects the church to the modern world.
The design came from James Dayton Design, whose architect James Dayton counts family as church members going back several generations.
“[It’s] honoring the beauty of this place, but interpreting it in a 21st century way,” Hart-Andersen said.
The project gives the church room to further expand. Hart-Andersen said the construction allows them to add four stories on the Marquette side of the property.
Westminster plans to cut the ribbon on the expansion in mid-January. Hart-Andersen said the new facility is lighter on its feet and physically engaged with the city, each a goal for the church as an organization.
I talked about finding the “why”, finding the motivation as the first step to focus on in taking action to reach a goal. It provides the drive and passion for reaching that certain goal and completing those propositions. With that in mind, I will discuss three intertwined points in order to have an attack plan that draw the fine line between success and failure for you. If you can do the following, you have the basics of discipline down.
Often time when you will think about learning or trying something. You consciously or sub-consciously also associate the fact that it is just something extra. The idea that it’s something exra leads you to think that it is not “as important” or dispensable even, which is very very bad. Take for example, you would like to become healthier and thus, need to exercise (and include a balance diet). When you consider it extra instead of a requirement, you will most likely just continue to go home and sit in front of TV. Instead of thinking it as something extra that needs to be done after work, you need to consider it as a required part of your life. Humans ARE animals and thus, daily activities should involve a certain amount of movement to sustain livelihood, just like breathing/sleeping is a part of us. It is not something extra that we can stop doing.
Another example can be that you want to improve your communication skill and for that, it involes becoming a better listener, which involves understanding people and not just hearing words. So instead of practicing and learning tips and tricks on listening to keywords and doing feedbacks, you need to make the principle of always trying to understand other people a part of you. By making the best effort to keep that as a habit, only then you become so natural at it and thus allow you to become good in communication.
Learning a habit takes time, it’s like learning a new sport where we have to drill certain movements into our muscles. Make it a requirement as a part of your being and have patience for yourself to learn it as a habit.
As previously discussed, learning a habit is by no means an easy task, nor is reaching a certain long-term goal any easier. They usually involve an extensive amount of time that will take steps after steps to get to it. The beginnning is especially a tough step, which is the reason we need the “why”. Heck, I’ve always doubted myself in learning piano in such an “old” age, but staying persistent and continue to practice is the only way I can get where I want, albeit the frustration and feeling like a failure sometimes. By focusing on the end, I will not give up. You will owe it to your persistence to reach most goals.
This relates to the last point very much. As how I would doubt myself in my piano skill quest, I can feel fear creeps up on me that actually holds me back from practicing at times. It is very strange but that is what fear does to us. “Where is the end? I don’t see all the steps that take me to the goal.” With many possible failed steps in our path to reach a goal, staying persistent is one thing. One thing that will back up the persistence is to let go of the fear and just be in the moment of taking the step, trust that a new step will be revealed, which is somewhat analogous to having the end in mind and having persistence to kee you going. Trust in “the end” and don’t let fear steer you away from reaching it (but this is not saying we don’t take advice from otehrs).
The ideas I talked about is a little difficult to articulate, so you can somehow grasp them and make use of them.
Return to Oz, one of my favorite films of all time, continues to inspire and delight me after all these years. Fairuza Balk in her first ever role plays Dorothy, mentally affected from her return to the normal world after her exposure to Oz. Her family eventually takes her to a psychotherapist who administers electric-shock treatments in an eerie facility that looks more like a dungeon than a hospital. During a huge storm she manages to escape and awakes to find herself back in Oz, which has deteriorated drastically since she was there last. Her journey takes her to creepy characters such as the Wheeler's, Mombi, the witch with ever-changing heads, dancing women frozen to stone, in addition to new slightly deranged side kicks that help her along the way.
This film is packed with magical scenes, with beautiful landscape shots of a decayed Emerald City, fantasy characters in elaborate dress, and all the traditional key players in a new, darker and more disturbed setting. I was delighted to discover an artist that seems to share the same subtle appreciation. Alia Penner creates photography, illustrations and design that feel like extended frames from Return to Oz.
