The damaged floor boards have been replaced/ fixed. The railing on the balcony has been replaced and fixed. The lights have been fitted.
The ant eaten window frame has been removed
and replaced.
The carpet and new vacuum cleaner has been bought.
Just a few more weeks to finish off the last of the wood work repairs, fill in the holes in the walls, paint the walls, clean and polish the floors, roll out the carpet, and ring the bell to call the folks to worship!!
It has been a long haul since Aug 2008, but, as usual, our Lord has been the Ever Faithful One, and has moved His people to bring in the money needed. We have just had to learn patience.
A BIG thank you to all who arranged fund raisers, gave of their sweat and time and money, AND PRAYED over the past 3 and 1/2 years.
Oh this is such wonderful news!! I feel like crying right now - yes, what a long journey since the rockfall and subsequent restorations. Will be thrilled when the day arrives that the Jamestown Chapel is reopened - many tears I'm sure when that beautiful bell resounds up and down the valley! Praise and thanks to God.
ReplyDeleteA BIG thanks is due to both you and Nick for all the effort you put into this project. I know it would be remiss in the Saint society, but I wish I could dance down the aisle like the Zulus would in South Africa, on the reopening day...
