Sunday Morning, Feb 24- Services at the New Building

We had our Sunday morning Church service at the new building this morning. They finished the platform for the Praise Team to use. They floor was cleaned up so well you could have eaten off it (You could have, not me).
People started arriving and the room filled up fast. There was a good crowd this morning.
This is looking from the lobby area into the main auditotium. I love the big windows.
This view is from beside the fellowship hall looking back toward the frount door.

There were alot of youth there.

The Praise Team started off the service. After a few sound system problems were worked out the rest of the worship time went very well.
Pastor Tony preached and we had a very good service.
After the service everyone ate their picnic lunches and hung out for awhile. A couple of guys had grills set up in the parking lot. They even set up the bounce houses inside the building. We love all the room!

Wed, Feb 20- RA's meet at the new Church

Wednesday night the RA group met out at the new Church building and had a special guest. They watched some hockey highlights before he spoke.
Al Secord ,a retired NHL hockey player, was there to talk to the boys. He works at American Airlines now with Mr. Morrison. He gave a very good talk to the boys. The dads there enjoyed it too.
He then showed the boys how to shoot a hockey puck. Each of the kids got a shot at the goal.

The paving bricks have been installed at the front door. They look very nice.
The workers are making great progress bricking the exterior of the building.
The bathrooms by the front door are all framed in. Coach Ellis and Mr Bristow where there working when we came in this evening. We talked about the insulation and the A/C system for awhile. Coach Ellis said that it is a new type of A/C system that the Assembly of God camp had installed into one of their dormitories last summer. They monitored the electricity usage in July with the old system and in August, when it was hotter, with the new system. The electricity used in August was one tenth what they used in July! Hopefully this system with the foam insulation will save us allot of money.

As you can see in the photo of the office hall above, the A/C units are being installed. There are many of these small units all around the Church.
Here is a close-up of one of them. They still need to be wired and plumbed.
This is the back wall of the auditorium. It also closed in the hall outside the offices.
In this view from the upper deck you can see from the offices all the way down to the nursery in the far corner.
There is alot of room on this upper deck. For a size comparison, you can just make out my middle son and one of his best friends at the far end of the building.

The walls of the frount office are up and waiting on the ceiling joists to be installed.
This is the nursery where the men were installing the ceiling joists last week. It looks like one of these nursery rooms is as big as the entire nursery at the current building.
The AC units that were in boxes are now laid out awaiting installation. There should be some of them installed by the time I go back to take more pictures.
