The Recording Studio

I remember back in my high school days driving by a building on McMorran road in Bakerstown, Pennsylvania. I was fascinated with what was going on in this building because of my interest in rock'n roll music. The building was only one floor and looked to be about 1500 square feet. It looked rather neat because the front of the building was a nice looking yellow brick. There was a couple of brothers back in high school that played in bands and did some recording. This building was their recording studio. I never got a chance to go into that building but I was always fascinated with what it might be like inside a recording studio.

It turns out about 15 years later that this building and property was purchased by Pastor Ron's new church community. We were located in the north hills of Pittsburgh and so the name of this new church was called Northfold New Testament Church. We managed to cram ourselves into that building on Sunday morning's and during the week we met in several homes through the northern suburbs. It seemed like Sunday morning was kind of an extension of what was going on in the homes throughout the week. At best we could get maybe 75 to 100 people in there at one time. That's how I remember it anyway. It may have been a bit bigger than that. It was small and intimate and we were having a lot of fun. There was a pioneering spirit among the people. We all knew that we were breaking new ground. We were doing something that we never did before and we felt that the Lord was leading us into a great adventure.

It was a small beginning but you could sense a momentum within and you knew that this little recording studio was not going to be sufficient for very long. The atmosphere was different than the one at Carlo's church. This group of people were having a lot more fun. I was starting to feel more comfortable. I didn't have time to reminisce anyway. In fact, I soon forgot that this little building was ever a recording studio.
