New Church Construction

A crane arrived on Monday to help hoist up the rafters of the new church. This is really, really exciting for us and a big, expensive job. The money came in, Dave reserved a crane, and the rafters are being welded up as I write. Here are some pictures of the first day and early this morning when they started...

While Dave is setting and welding the other side.

They are over 35 feet in the air, sometimes standing on the very top of the scaffolding.
A number of guys came to help. Dave made some braces so the rafter wouldn't buckle.
The first day they put three up. The second day, they put four up. There are four left so they will probably finish today. This is a shot of the crane being connected to the first rafter of the day.

This is pretty exciting for us. Please pray for safety as they continue today. It's not the safest job we've had to do.

  1. What should I say reading your post I actually don't know. I'm just speechless. Today's church loans process is getting rough and hassling. But Griffin Church loans is the solution there. So I'm relieved from the tension of funding my church.
