A Day's Work

New Chairs

Many thanks to the HUMC Trustees and others for removing the pews in the parlor room and replacing them with padded chairs. In addition to a worship space, the chairs will allow the room to be configured for multi-purpose use.

Deck Building

Seven HUMC men spent the morning setting the beams and joists for the new deck. Although the pictures don't show it, they made a lot of progress today.

Pouring Piers

Preparations for the deck on the East side of the fellowship hall are coming along. Today the trustees poured the piers that will be the foundation for the deck. They also framed up and poured a concrete slab that will support the trash bins. Work on the deck is scheduled to begin later this week.

During - Diggin' Holes

The guys have spent the morning digging holes and preparing to pour the piers. I am told the piers will support the beams which will support the joists which will support the deck.

Before

The HUMC Trustees are installing a new deck on the East side of the fellowship hall. Pictures showing their progress will be posted throughout the day. In the photo above you can see that the old stone steps have been removed and have been preserved for later use.

Worship at Homer Lake

Moderate temps and gentle breezes made worship at Homer Lake as near to perfect as any day could be this side of heaven. Communion was served followed by a message based on Matthew 14--Peter overcoming his fear and walking on the water toward Jesus. As Pastor Steve removed his shoes to prepare for baptisms, one little guy asked, "Is he going to walk on water now"? There were 2 baptisms and 3 reaffirmations in the lake. A time of fellowship was enjoyed by all following the service.
