As you can see by the pictures, it is getting exciting! The first picture is a view from the main entrance - just as you enter the chapel. A bathroom will be on the left and an office on the right. The other doors are for electrical and plumbing areas. The next interior views is from the sanctuary. The domed area will be directly above the altar. The third interior photo shows the view from the altar looking out through the double sets of doors to the entrance. The final photo shows the exterior of the chapel and workers constructing the cross decorations. We are trying to finish construction by Easter. This means that the structure will be complete and the chapel will be a safe building. This does not mean, however that we will be ready for visitors. There will not be any pews, stained glass, statuary, altar, woodwork or other furnishings in the chapel. Church furnishings are quite expensive and we still need donations to pay for them. We are searching out the most cost effective solutions but do not have the funds to pay for all of them. I will discuss specific items in future postings.
