The Big Workday Overview

Thanks to everyone who showed up August 15th for the workday! We had people from several churches in the area come to help us as we push to complete our building project. I'll be posting several updates about the work as I could not possibly describe everything that happened in one post! The work actually began on Friday with some young men coming to help do some preparation work. Then Saturday morning the Apostolic Ministry Team (AMT) met early that morning for their monthly class. Afterwards everyone enjoyed coffee, muffins, and fruit before jumping right in to the work. The churches we would like to thank are:
The Link in Canton, OH http://www.thelinkchurch.org/
Dover Link in Dover, OH http://www.doverlinkblogspot.com/
Christian Life Center of Minerva in Minerva, OH http://www.clcminerva.com/
Grace Pentecostal Church in Salem, OH http://www.gracepentecostalsalem.org/
North Point Apostolic in Stow, OH http://www.northpointapostolic.com/

Some of projects we accomplished (more details to follow):

Landscaping around our sign. Why is the woman the only one actually using her shovel?


Painting the shed.





Removing wallpaper in the Sunday School room, hallway, and the fellowship hall.





Framing the new walls in the second bathroom, putting up drywall and board for the tile.



Lunch. Very Important. Thanks to all the ladies who helped serve and make food for the hungry crowd.











The front entrance way reopened and our new doors installed. Thank you to Grace Pentecostal Church for donating the new doors!


Hanging and finishing drywall in the fellowship hall and a Sunday School room.


Moving the stove (and the gas line) so that we can build a storage closet in the kitchen. The ladies also cleaned the kitchen thoroughly.







Painting the trim in the sanctuary.











Putting up ceiling fans and light fixtures in the sanctuary.












These are just some of the projects we were able to do with the unified effort of our sister churches. The Solid Rock members were speechless and emotional after everyone left and we were left standing in a church building that is almost unrecognizable from a year ago. We're not finished but we are going forward.
Look for future posts for details on individual projects and highlights!
