CROWN POINT â Barbara Parker was moved to tears as she worshiped God in the historic Lake County courthouse courtroom Thursday.
Parker, who has only lived in the city for 10 months, said she was called to Crown Point, where she had a connection at Living Stones Church.
The sermons and prayers given by seven Crown Point pastors all embodied what Parker, and what she says God, want to see for the world. It was the heart of God. I want to see these things happen that were prayed â the unity, Parker said. This is God s heart, the unity and the Great Awakening and people coming to know Jesus, and this country coming back to what it was founded to be that we will send out to other countries and we will be the great country we were made to be.
CROWN POINT â Within two months, residents will be able to visit a new-and-improved clerk-treasurer s office and building department.Â
In November, Crown Point Mayor David Uran announced work would begin soon on three city-owned buildings, including Crown Point City Hall, the old Civic Center and Crown Point Fire & Rescue.Â
Renovations at City Hall and the old Crown Point Civic Center began before the start of the new year, prompting the clerk s office and building department to temporarily relocate while work is underway. Work at the fire department has yet to begin because the city is waiting on materials, Uran said.Â
Once work is complete, Crown Point residents can expect an expanded clerk s office, which will take up the footprint of City Hall s first floor, Uran told The Times during a recent building tour.Â
