Inside the New Family Life Center


Now that the block walls are up the layout of the building is taking form. This photo is taken from the front door and shows the framing for the large windows in the rear of the Fellowship Hall. The opening at the left rear is the hallway to the bathrooms and the pass through to the new kitchen.

Masons Laying Last of the Block


Now that the steel beams and posts are in place the masons are completing the last of the block walls. Next week the framing crew will begin construction of the framed walls.

Stained Glass Window Update

At the 6 June 2006 Shiloh Business Meeting the church voted to advertise that we were seeking donations to purchase stained glass windows to go where the old nursery windows are now. The stained glass windows would be given as a memorial, just like the existing ones in the sanctuary. The price is approximately $2,500 apiece. The first announcement was made in last Sunday's bulletin and two families responded with interest in donating windows. So it appears that we will be getting these windows. If additional families are interested, it would be possible to put two more stained glass windows in the chapel.

Steel Going Up


The structural steel beams are being set in place. This will be completed tomorrow and then the masons can return and lay the remaining concrete block. The framing and truss installation is expected to commence next week.
