Building Update

On your way to church this weekend, drive by the building site and see the impressive beginning of the church building. It has been a very successful week, the massive laminated wood arches are standing in place, the window frame arches have been installed and the roof work has begun. If you are impressed by what you see, remember only half of the frame is up, the back half of the building will be constructed out of steel ( the steel will arrive on site on 9/29/08).

The highlight of next week will be the completion of the cupola which will stand about 35 feet high from the center of the sanctuary roof. The top eight feet of the cupola is a cross covered in copper. The cupola is currently being constructed and is on the ground next to the building. On Friday of next week a crane will be used to lift it up on top of the roof.

Over the rest of September, some plumbing, electrical and roof work will be done.
