| A freshly painted sanctuary ceiling |
It dawned on me recently that it's been too long since I updated this blog. We have been continuing to work on the building in West Conshohocken. It has needed much more work than we could have guessed. It seems like every time we peel one layer off, we find 12 underneath, but some big things have happened recently that have been extremely productive.
The ceiling in the sanctuary needed a lot of help, but now it looks as good as new with a fresh coat of paint.
The upstairs bathroom has been made functional and remodeled with new fixtures.
New sinks have been installed in the downstairs bathrooms.
New ceilings have been installed in the side entrance and in the office areas.
Electrical repairs are in the process of being made, but some are complete and new lights will be going up soon where they're needed.
Almost all of the wood trim has been rejuvenated with the help of some Danish Oil.
The logo for the new church has been designed.
A pipe started leaking and created a big mess, but we were able to repair the damage. In the end, all it did was force us to rip out some carpet sooner than we were planning on.
We're still bringing work teams down on Thursdays and will continue to do so until everything is ready. Coming up soon, we'll be hosting a work day (probably on a Saturday). On that day, we'll be removing all remaining junk, construction debris, and carpeting. We'll also be giving the building a deep clean in preparation for the carpet installation. We'd be grateful for your help if you were interested in lending a few hours of your time. A date will be posted soon.
As always, thanks for your prayers!

| We had to rip out wet carpet and soggy carpet padding when the pipe leaked. No worries. It was going to be ripped out soon anyway. This just bumped it up on the list. |
