You will have to start from the bottom up for these to be in order.

Lunch Time.
Thank you Carol and Kelly for taking on the planning of meals

We had a great turnout the first day




John planning out where the new sound booth will be built and Russ (from South Gate) unscrewing the pews.



Old entry to the church is now gone

Scott K will be back to paint it!



This is the office being turned into 2 offices.

From inside the Sanctuary the old entry to the church building doors have been removed and a wall is being built. Where it says Not an exit, a sign used to hang that said,
YOU ARE NOW ENTERING THE MISSION FIELD!

F.M.B.C of Redlands Remodeling project


This is our church, and we are very proud to be members of it. Please pray for us as we seek a new pastor. This is where we will be working for a couple of weeks. Before Chapel Builders arrived, Scott Kallner and helpers
started painting the woodwork on the church building.
The building in the center and to the left was a Chapel Builders project which Bro. Howard Frakes led out in over 20 years ago.

A new coat of paint now Gray with green trim, formerly a steel blue.


This garden has been here awhile, but I can't look at this picture without remembering a very faithful Charter member who always kept the flower beds looking wonderful.
This is Sis. Lois Green's Memorial Garden.


This is our Sanctuary. Scott Kallner (our Nephew) and his helpers will be starting to paint the entire inside toward the end of the project.


*Look for pictures after the painting and remodeling is done



This cross is very special.

How can you look at any cross and not remember what the Lord has done for you?

He couldn't have completed what they did without him. Thank you Russ!
