Those middle walls!

Running wire in the basement

Before...

After removing the stone header and blocks

Middle wall in basement gone

Looking toward the new stairwell...with wall gone

Main water line repaired!

Toddler wing foundation repair

Pumping in the mixture under the foundation

More pumping...see all the holes!

Quite the operation!

Looking toward the kitchen from the toddler wing

Newly designed steps

Men's bathroom wall ready to come down...

...Lines cut...

...blocks removed...

...more demo...

Wall completely gone!

Now looking through the men's bathroom to the other side!

The middle walls came down recently in our flood rebuild. Lots of reconstruction has been taking place recently in our worship center.

Believe it or not there has been tremendous progress on our rebuild. Walls have come down, a concrete mixture has been pumped under the toddler wing foundation (to correct a problem uncovered in this rebuild!), the basement is almost wired for electric, the heating contractors have continued on running the new duct work and other framing is being constructed as well.

It is exciting to see our regional worship center educational facilities taking shape...it's been a long, long time in coming!

We enjoyed a great service yesterday morning. Strong worship time. I preached on the Peace of Christmas. Powerful altar time. Offering included some generous gifts for our Flood Fund...PTL!

I'll keep my comments brief so that I can upload some updated pictures for you to see on the flood rebuild project.

Please don't forget to...
  1. Pray for us.
  2. Consider making a contribution for our flood reconstruction project...we need your help!

  4. Let me hear from you by making a comment on this blog post...are you still following along with us on this faith-filled journey? We all would love to hear from you!!
Remember this verse...this came to my mind when I saw the interior walls coming down:
"For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall." (Eph.2:14)

Thanks for watching to see how God directs, blesses and meets our needs. He is the Faithful One!

Love to all.
