We Have Doors!

October 27, 2009

Yes, we actually have doors on the South side of the church addition. I was suprised to see them because I sure didn’t notice them on Sunday. Sunday was a gorgeous day and at the end of each of our church services the congregation filed into the new sanctuary to grab permanent markers and “sign the beams.” What a cool idea. Even though our thoughts and praises will soon be covered by dry wall, it was something that each family, child or individual could take the time to add a little bit of our hearts to the heart of the church. I know it meant alot to Jim and I and since I didn’t have my camera on Sunday to capture the actual event I wanted to show you what it looks like.

The last photo is an acquaintance, Jack Miller, who is the mason on our church project. Jack is from Freeport and is working with his son, Adam, to lay the bricks. They look like they match the rest of the church quite well!

Today I intended to post a couple of images from the last time I photographed the construction progress at our church. However, since they’re so out-of-date now I’ll post a couple of current ones instead. It’s getting more difficult to see outward progress from Stephenson street so I will be focusing more on the interior in the future. Like I tell my students, interior photos aren’t usually as pretty photographs, though, due to using flash. All sides are enclosed except the south side and they were pouring some cement areas today.

I finally got to meet almost four-month-old, Michael, last week for the first round of his “Cuter Every Day” photos. Michael wasn’t that into me or his pumpkin costume, but wow, what a cutie. This little boy has gorgeous blue eyes with just a hint of reddish blonde hair crowning his head. Thanks to Kim and Dennis for driving all the way to Freeport.
