Cleaning out the S.S. Office!
Our new junk room...the nursery!
Meeting of the minds...
Walls coming down...
New opening...
Dust, dust, dust...
Very unusual...insulation between the blocks??
Unbelievable!!Today was a block breaking and block smashing day!
The workers were at the church bright and early for a record-setting day: lots of demo was accomplished today. The new opening for our soon-to-be exterior door off the new stairwell to the basement was created this morning. Plus, two block walls that were part of the old Sunday School office and also Mother's Nursing room were taken down as well. Lots of dust flying everywhere (you can see it in one of the pics!).
Before the walls came down, the architect, engineer and vice-president were all out to check and double-check the measurements for load-bearing walls, etc. Once that was passed through and some minor adjustments were made, the place got real messy quick!
Yesterday and today more demo was given to the toddler wing in getting it prepped for work that will begin in there soon. Once again, another exterior new opening must be made for an entrance door into this ministry space. Lots of changes occurring to make this more functional and up-to-date.
I had to go up to Indianapolis for several errands: hospital visit, pick-up of some repaired a/v equipment, and also a visit to a Westfield church for some donated toddler chairs. This will be a blessing for our children's ministries which lost just about everything in the flood.
If your church has some good equipment or furniture (tables, chairs, etc.) lying around, give us a call to see if we can put it to good use. We will need lots of help once all the renovations and rebuilding are complete.
On my way home I stopped and filled up at the lowest per gallon price around: $1.77! Can you believe it? A couple of months ago we were paying about $4.15 a gallon here in Columbus, Indiana!! One welcome sign of some needed relief. I wonder where it will finally bottom out...
Keep us in your prayers. So much still yet to do...a big financial mountain yet to climb! But God...!!

It's great to know that God is definitely going to take care of this financial mountain. I'm sure it weighs on you more than anyone, Pastor. But I know that you know that God has it all under control. And it's great to know that God has even bigger plans for our church, too. I wonder what God will do next? :)
We enjoy seeing the progress on the church building through your blog! We know that there is even more progress going on, though, in the lives and hearts of everyone you have been able to reach out to and touch since the flood. You are in our prayers!!!
