PLYMOUTH — The Bible tells of the walls of Jericho coming down with a trumpet blast, but it took a lot of heavy equipment to bring down the walls of the First Assembly of God.
The Plymouth church decided to relocate and close King’s Kiddie Kollege that operated out of the church home on Michigan Street. The decision cleared the way for St. Michael’s Catholic Church to purchase the building and clear the way for a new playground for St. Michael’s School.
“We’d been in that building for 40 years and the pre-school had been in operation since 1978,” said Marsha Wainscott, of the First Assembly of God ,whose parents have pastored the Church for that 40 years. “We lived there, we worked there and we went to church there. We moved in in March of 1968. It was an emotional decision to relocate.”
The reasons were simple – the church needed more room, and a more up-to-date building.
“The utilities there were really high, especially in the winter,” said Wainscott. “There was really no parking and no place to expand. Any maintenance of the building became major maintenance. It was a sturdy building; it was just getting old. The church was in 100 percent agreement on the move.”
The Church is temporarily meeting at 7575 Michigan Road Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. until suitable property can be found, at which time they plan to build a new facility.
The renovation of the area itself continues full steam.
“The house should be pretty much out of the way by today,” said Randy Danielson, one of the coordinators of St. Michael playground project. “Then they will be able to finish the whole (playground) front wall.
“This will be the first time in 80 years that someone will be able to see the courthouse square from Michigan Street. I think it’s going to be quite a sight once everything is put back together.”
Barring any complications the church hopes to have the project complete by late September.
“There have been very few glitches,” said Daniel-son. “It will definitely not be ready when the school opens its doors, but we think it will be worth the wait. We’re hoping for a rededication for the Feast of St. Michael on Sept. 29.”
