Volunteer Day

Volunteers gathered on Saturday, Aug. 25 , under the guidance of our site director , Bob to paint, make temporary drain troughs, drill holes, move insulation, cut out vents and clean up. We had hoped to be stuffing insulation but our electricians were not able to finish wiring in time. That's a big pile of garbage to sort and clean up. How much wood can a woodchuck chuck? Quite a bit if we can all keep up to Helen!

Who's hiding behind the drill?

How can I incorporate this in my Sermon tomorrow????

Master Driller Cam at work.

Cliff and Andrew supervise Tony as he tries to pick the lock on the tool chest! (PS. They had to call in the exports!)

Truck loaded and ready for the garbage dump! "Make sure someone follows me. I'm not sure if the truck will make it!"

What happened to all that garbage?

We even installed a door or two!
How do you like our newly styled door????

Tony and Bob pack up after a hard day's work!

Time to go home!

August 22 Church Pictures

Miracles continue to happen! The Electricians weren't supposed to arrive until next week but God arranged it so that they were able to come this week.
Consequently, we will need all the help we can get on Saturday, August 25, to stuff insulation in readiness for the drywallers!

It's a long way from the kitchen through the fellowship hall to the front of the sanctuary!

The scissor lift is very handy in installing the last bit of siding!


The front entrance still needs Doors!

August 15 pictures

Work has been progressing at an amazing rate! Supplies keep coming in on or before schedule! Insulation is waiting to be installed!The "To Do" lists are methodically crossed off as each step is completed!

Rick and Bob check mesurements and keep everybody on track!

The Sanctuary windows have been installed.

Many sheets of plywood are already down to provide a good base for the flooring.

The roofing should be done by Friday! Hopefully that means we won't have to worry about the rain anymore!

The Siding is being installed! Note the new windows. Most of them are installed as well!

Make sure that siding is straight!

Hard at work!

Wrapped and ready for siding! - Fellowship area.

The Sunday School area wrapped and ready!

God has certainly blessed us as we move forward with the building of our church. Continue to pray for this project and that the trades people will be able to keep up the pace! We are about 1 week ahead of schedule but may have to wait for electrical and mechanical people to finish before we can do the insulation etc.

More Pictures!

The roofers have certainly been busy. There are only two of them but they are already about 2/3 finished as of August 13.

The sanctuary is taking shape. It is much bigger than what we now have and no longer in the greyhound bus shape!

Not only are the Sunday School rooms much larger, but we will also have a common area for the Sunday School openings!

Can you picture the tables and chairs in this, the fellowship area? Washrooms are to the left and the kitchen is at the far end.

The roofers apply a layer of felt and then the shingles are put in place.

We are getting ready to put on siding. Volunteers can again be used in this step.
Just show up! I am sure someone will put you to work!

Roofing has started!

Roofing started on Tuesday, August 7th. Most of the framing is done, with Les and crew leaving today (Wednesday). They will be back on Monday to lay the second layer of the floor and do the siding and windows. In the meantime, we need volunteers to go up and clean up the floor area! Bring your shop vac if you have one.

Ice Cream Social

Lots of Choices!

That was delicious! Do you have room for more?

The $180.00 raised at the ELW Ice Cream Social will go to the purchase of a fireplace for the fireside lounge. Thank you to those who helped put this on and to those who supported it!
