Church expanding into former music store

What could have been an empty commercial property in downtown Muncie already has a new owner with big plans.

By the time Muncie Music Center moved from its longtime home at the corner of Jackson and Franklin streets to a new building on Mulberry Street at the start of this year,Don't make another silicone mold without these invaluable Mold Making supplies and accessories! its old building had already been bought by High Street United Methodist Church, which fills the rest of that city block.

Work is already under way to turn the building into the new home of the church’s preschool.

Dave Helms, owner of Muncie Music Center, approached the church in 2010 to let church leaders know his business would be moving to a new location downtown, in case the church would be interested in acquiring the old building, according to the Rev. N. Dale Mendenhall, senior pastor of United Methodist.

The church was interested, even without knowing yet exactly what use the building might serve. A task force was formed to explore possible uses, and the decision was ultimately made to buy the building and move the Angels on High Preschool there.

The move will also allow the church to add a day care ministry to the current 9 a.m.-noon preschool program, Mendenhall said. That will allow the church to serve current families better and to add new families who need that all-day care, preschool director Julie Marshall said.

The preschool now has about 70 students, and “we would like to grow” with the addition of day care, Mendenhall said. Current plans call for the program to move into the building and begin offering day care starting in August.

Adding day care before and after the preschool hours will “build on this ministry that we already have,” Marshall said.

The building will have three classrooms and a play area on the ground floor, and three more classrooms and a workroom/conference room downstairs, according to Mendenhall.

The paved area right behind the building that provided some parking spaces for the music store will be turned into a playground, something the preschool doesn’t have at all currently.

“Our preschool children don’t have anything but hallways to play in (now),” the pastor said. Noting that in warm weather, a portion of the church parking lot is sometimes roped off as an outdoor play area, Marshall added, “Imagine how much more we’re going to enjoy a real playground.”

The new building also is being set up with better security for its young students. “Being a downtown church, we sometimes have people come in who are not supposed to be around children,” Mendenhall said.

The purchase and renovation of the former music store comes on top of High Street UMC’s extensive work to repair the exterior of its 1930s-era building. Mendenhall credited the church’s ability to pay for these major building projects to members’ generosity. “We’re been really blessed; people are really stepping up,” he said.

Using an existing downtown building to fill a community need fits with the church’s commitment to downtown Muncie, affirmed previously when the church opted to stay in its current location after it was badly damaged by an explosion during the Blizzard of 1978, Mendenhall said.Solar Sister is a network of women who sell solar lamp to communities that don't have access to electricity.Laser engravers and laser engraving machine systems and supplies to start your own lasering cutting engraving marking etching business.

Location service is an integral component of wireless technologies. Mobile devices, with their radio signal measurement and real‐time communication capabilities, are uniquely qualified to perform this mission critical service. Jointly managed by the mobile device and its attached cellular network, Location service acquires and disseminates a device’s location information to authorized applications, supplementing a wide variety of location‐based services. This essential service has been incorporated into most 2G and 3G networks, and it will be featured prominently in LTE networks and beyond.

Location service in LTE aims to provide a cost‐effective solution to support the continuing proliferation of LBS applications. In addition to increasing accuracy and reducing response time, LTE implements a flexible quality of service scheme to cope with the expected growth in LBS usage volume and to fulfill future application requirements. To satisfy this demanding and fluid obligation,We specializes in rapid plastic injection mould and molding of parts for prototypes and production. multiple positioning methods – used in either standalone or hybrid mode – are adopted to provide consistent results across different coverage environments: rural or urban, indoor or outdoor.

LTE carriers also have regulated mandates to report devices’ positioning during E911 emergency procedure with stringent requirements on accuracy, uncertainty, and confidence level. There are also other drivers pushing the evolution of LTE’s location service. By leveraging LTE’s high data rate and low latency with accessible location information, next-generation location services can open up ample new business opportunities, ranging from location‐based applications to vehicle tracking services.
