Extreme Makeover - Boiler Edition!

They might look like the same 60 year old boilers on the outside, BUT inside they are brand new! This fall we finished completely replacing all of the tubes in Boiler #2. (Boiler #1 was done last year.)

For those of you that don't know. Boilers are filled with long metal tubes about 3" in diameter. Over time these tubes deteriorate and begin to leak. It is not uncommon to have one or two develop leaks and need replacement. We were finding seven to ten tubes leaking, so we made the choice to re-tube the entire boiler.

The is a 20+ year repair! With proper chemical balance in the boiler water and other routine maintenance, these boilers are ready to run for a long time to come!

Here's Your Sign!

It's almost done! The brick is up and the sign is mounted! All that is left is for the electrical to be completed for lighting and some landscape work next spring!

Hopefully, this will help the community identify this building as Grace Life Church / Marshall Area Christian School instead of "the old East Side building". :-)

Going Up!

The sign frame is almost done! This project has really picked up speed this week. If all goes well, we might have a sign in the front lawn by the end of the month!

BRICK!!!

God answers prayer! The brick came to town on Monday and the crew is here today starting to lay it in! We should have the frame work of the sign standing soon! Check back in a few days to see the continued progress!

Sign Footing

The sign footings have been poured! The main hold up now will be brick. Pray that the brick will arrive soon! It sure is fun to see this sign become a reality.

Sign UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

The hole was dug this morning to pour the footings for the new sign! (With a 6' hole in the front yard, people might think it is the the start of the new Grace Life cemetery!) Still no word on the brick, but we are getting started.

College Drive Sign Time!

Coming Soon! - Grace Life Church has received a permit to build a sign out on the College Drive side of the building! We called in the locate today and digging... should start next week! Hopefully we'll have a picture of the new sign to post here soon!

When one door Shuts, another Opens!

You have got to love the creative people around here! Check out the new wall art in various locations around the building. This sign on the first floor elevator door is just one of several that have greatly added to the overall presentation of the building. Thank you to Joyce Adams!

Summer Hires!

Calling all Summer hires! Grace Life Church is looking for a few good people to work with out building and grounds team this summer! Stop by the church office to pick up an application!

Meeting Room 2 Gets a Facelift!

It is amazing to see the transformation that has taken place in Meeting Room 2! Thanks to some amazing volunteers (and a little paid labor!) this room is now much more useful and attractive!

The old blue counters were removed, the walls patched, and freshly painted! After seeing the improvement and makeing use of the space it makes us wonder why we did not do this sooner!

Meeting Room 3 Face Lift!

If you have a chance to visit Meeting Room 3 - do it! We think you'll love the new look! Thank you to Rick and Joyce Adams for re-decorating the room this month!
