I thought I’d post some pictures of how the rebuilding of the church is going!
The first thing the city told us was that we needed to put up a fire wall between the sanctuary and the fellowship wall. In order to do this the bathrooms had to be moved a few feet. The city also required the plumbing be upgraded to today’s code so trenching and jackhammering 7″ of concrete flooring to get this done had to be completed first.
Plumber Jerry Yanez puts in the parts that are required to pass code.
At the same time the plumber is doing his thing the trusses are coming down to replace the burnt part of the ceiling.
Don’t they make it all look so easy? It must have been because they seemed done in no time at all.
Meeting with the general contractor, he shows us what is going on and what needs to happen next. It’s strange to see the church cut in two pieces but we know it will all be put back together again soon.
Jody Jasso and Pastor Doug stop to pose for a picture.
Walls are framed to hold things together until the new trusses arrive next week.
At first when I saw these pictures it brought tears to my eyes, but I know God has mighty plans for us once it’s complete. He is just equipting us for what is to come. It brought me to tears because I got married in this church and I remember in this first picture that is where we had our dinner reception, now I am thinking what a beautiful new building for my kids and grandkids to get married in. If you look at something you can always find some kind of positive, thank you Lord, for this new building to be able to bless more families and some new memories.
