This was our church in 2000 before all of our improvement projects.
These 2 were our church volunteer workers,
Ron Brickey and Harland Ervin. They were waiting for
the Bradley Bros. Crane Service to lift our new steeple.
More volunteer workers from our neighborhood,
Ronnie Tipton, Ronnie’s worker and R. Brickey.
The crane arrived and began setting up.
Up went the steeple swinging through the air.
Easy does it onto our church roof.
