Week four and there are still a lot of trees to remove! Twenty-seven finished jobs and most of them were big jobs! The week ended with services in the old sanctuary because of demolition on the ceiling in the new worship center.

October 2, the old sanctuary was packed.		New members were added to the church as we met in the old sanctuary because of water restoration work (tearing down the pine and removing wet insulation) in the new Worship Center.
