Work In Progress Theme

Our upcoming church conference theme is "Work In Progress" and I am in need of suggestions for activities, videos, decorations, etc. to get started with the planning. Any help would be great!

I've seen an idea that had a before and after picture of a restored car. I wonder if you could do something along those lines?

How about a construction theme? There's lots of possible tie-ins with the various stages, e.g., planning and design, foundations, etc. Depending on timing and location, you could even get people out to a Habitat for Humanity site for some actual construction (and giving others a hand in the process )

Midnight Oil has a Home Construction set that may work well for you. It includes a time lapse video of a house being constructed as a theme intro.

What came to my mind was road construction. Lots of orange signs and cones; talks about detours & potholds along the way. Have greeters and ushers wear reflective vests.
