With every seat in the sanctuary taken and a standing room only crowd Past Jeff Meyers said, we now know how many people our building can really hold without being uncomfortable for the audience. With over 1400 people attending a Sheriff Deputy's Funeral earlier in the year, the facilities staff did a great job at adding the necessary seating to accomodate the expected crowd.
