One way to reduce noise as well as divide a large space into more intimate settings for small-group meetings is to use room dividers. Some systems can be installed directly into the building and pulled out as needed, while others can be moved from space to space as needed. For example, Versipanel makes a lightweight curving wall system that can flex to fit most any need. The accoustical panels, which are available in more than 150 colors and are durable enough to drive a truck over, can be set up or stored in minutes. Set for Worship Preparing a multipurpose space for worship is a challenge, particularly in the absence of stained glass, art, or other traditional sanctuary furnishings.
Some congregations hang banners to prepare multipurpose space for worship.
Banners can be mounted from walls on telescopic holders. Or they can be hung on poles that are pushed into permanent brass floor mounts. The brass mounts are a lot like electric outlet caps in the floor. Setting up seasonal banners is easy from service to service. Finding storage space for banners, seating, altar furniture, and other accessories is perhaps the most difficult part of using a multipurpose building.
