Church Planting and Church Building

The month of February has been very busy, with activities at the new mission, and with preparing the foundation and floor for the new Santuary. Third CRC Denver will be here the 9th - 15th of March to frame the church building. The floor, however, had to be done early because of the activities on February 16th and 17th. Both outdoor activities took place on the new slab.

First we had to fill the area with fill dirt, and compact it. Then came the job of leveling the area. Finally the forms and rebar had to be put in place and tied in. The on Monday February 11th the pad was poured. About 40 men, and women, from several churches and the rehab center showed up to help with the work. This time we ordered the cement from cement trucks. The cement was supposed to arrive a 7:30 am, the first truck arrived at 10:45. So, we had breakfast before the work.

After all the trucks had delivered their cement we were still about 6 sacks short, so the men got to mix the last little bit by hand and deliver it by wheel barrel. Scott, Paulino Luna, and another cement mason stayed to finish troweling the cement.

We still have to lay two rows of bricks on the outside of the foundation, and then we are ready for the group from Denver!
