Progress Restarted

The masons are back on the job full force with a 14 man crew. The exterior walls of the new chaple section are complete and the remaining walls are well started. The block work is expected to complete by next week so the structural steel (seen in second photo) and roof trusses can be installed.

View Through the Foyer Window


The interior of the Fellowship Hall takes shape as the block walls go up.

Stained glass windows anyone? The architect has suggested that instead of bricking up the two windows (seen at the left side of the existing building) that we instead install stained glass windows. The stained glass windows would be lighted from behind. This existing exterior wall becomes an interior exposed-brick firewall in the new building. We have asked the builder to quote us a price, which will be posted when available. We will then offer families the opportunity to donate one or both windows. Here is a way to create a beautiful memorial to a loved one, just like the existing stained glass windows in the sanctuary.

The masons have begun laying the interior walls. Next week they will begin on the exterior walls.
