The concrete is started!!! Praise God!!
The men were able to pour the concrete footer today - sunshine and everything. There were a few sprinkles, but not enough to stop the work. The blocks are set and the next step is to lay the groundwork for the plumbing and then the rest of the foundation will be poured. We are so excited!
Meanwhile, our pavillion has been beautified. Rosa Blooflat, our aesthetics coordinater, has planted flowers and done some landscaping around the pavillion. Bill Wood and Brian Harley were kind enough to put tarp up on three sides of the structure. We are able to meet there with minimum discomfort. The ladies are wise enough, however, to bring blankets each week, and even a couple extras for visitors. The joy and excitement in our little group concerning the move to the property is truly a tangible thing. It is wonderful to take a step in God's will and have Him just keep confirming that we are doing the right thing.
This past Sunday was very cool and windy. The piano needed to be moved to a different part of the pavillion because the wind kept blowing the hymnbook pages, and the women wondered why we bothered with our hair. :) We even had a little bit of white stuff blow in. Okay, it was tiny pieces of the foam insulation blocks that the men had cut. But it was still white stuff.
Look for another post soon.
And here is a photo of most of the work crew. From left to right, Scott Harley, Jared Wood, Pastor Nick Bickish, Bill Wood, Allen Blooflat, Abigail Harley, Chad Harley, Brian Harley and Robert Jones. Two others, Sam Wood from Kenai, and Allen's friend, Harold from Minnesota, are not in the picture. Still, we appreciate their help.
