Hanging Heaters

It not wired or plumbed yet, but the first heater was set in place today. The second one should go up tomorrow. We hope to have them working in a couple of weeks.

It Has Been a While

I am sure it is an understatement that it has been a while since the last post and pictures. This set of pictures runs from newest to oldest. So, what has been accomplished since the end of August. Well, by Family Bible Conference the exhaust fan was installed in the East Wall. We also got the insulation put up in the perimeter walls, several young men from Newberg Christian Church did that messy job. Concurrent with that, strandboard was also put up around the perimeter of the Great Room (or Koinonium as one blog follower likes to call it).

We have also run some electrical conduit in anticipation of working on the west reception/administration areas.

After Family Bible Conference the next big thing was Friends of Wi-Ne-Ma Day. That event returned to the Missions Building. It worked really well to get the concert, silent auction, and oral auction all together again. The special project for Friends of Wi-Ne-Ma Day was raising money to insulate the ceiling and purchase the windows for the western entrance. A little over $14,000 was raised which should cover those costs. (If you would like to donate towards the overall Missions Building project you can do so online. Look for the link on the left.)

In the last month we have been assisted by the Thursday volunteers and by work parties from Adventure Christian Church and Harrisburg Christian Church. They have been putting up sheet rock. That task is about half done. Adventure is coming back in November to continue on with the sheet rock.

Phil has built some basketball backboards, so now we also have four hoops up. It only took me four tries to make a basket in the new building (it was a jump shot and not a lay in).

The next thing this week is for a couple of volunteers who will come in and put in one of the sets of stairs to the mezzanine.

Our goal this winter is to finish up the Great Room/Koinonium with insulation and finished walls, windows in the west entrance. By next summer we intend to finish the office/administration areas on the west end of the building and have the offices moved there.

Thanks for the prayers, encouragement, and support of this project.
