You're looking into our extended foyer where we can enjoy coffee, donuts & each other before & after service. Straight ahead at the back is Josh's new office, large enough to hold the copy machine and a desk for administrative work, as well as room to counsel people. To the left is the new nursery! It's not huge, but a good size for a small church. There will be a window that parents can see through to make sure their babies are fine. A sound booth is off to the front right of the foyer.
Josh and DeLon have done most of the grunt work. They've been incredible...Josh is learning construction as he goes. DeLon has been a great teacher, and very patient! Jamie has also learned all about insulating walls & ceilings, and of course cleaning up for Sundays!
These are the pews we are trying to sell. With the money, we will be able to purchase nice padded chairs that will make the upstairs much more functional for various types of ministry events. If you're interested, we do have better pictures available! :)
The new "back wall"---it is so cool!
The sanctuary walls were painted cinderblock with tall semi-windows nearly from floor to ceiling. We've studded, insulated, and drywalled, and already the building is so much warmer. The upper holes are for windows when we get the money to put them in.
This weekend we are hosting work days, and several men have come to help us insulate & drywall the ceiling! It is so nice to have help. Thanks to: DeLon, Brady, Doug, Al, Ross, Larry, Rod, Roger, Dwayne & the Eau Claire men, John, Laurie and Alesha. We are grateful!
This winter has been a real Wisconsin winter....and all of our friends are so surprised at how much snow we've had (and keep getting!). Last Sunday we got about 12 inches, on top of all the snow that hasn't melted. Apparently we are way past the record snowfall for this part--over 80", I believe. Another snowfall is coming Monday...yippee! Josh and I bought real boots and snowpants this winter, hoping we weren't wasting our money...and they have been the best purchase!
