Franklin Baptist Association, Alabama- Week1: The first group of volunteers arrived from Alabama (Franklin Baptist Association) and the work they accomplished by 2 pm Monday (June 16) was outstanding! Hopefully, we can get some names to go woth these images but we wanted to get these to you so you can see the progress. We are so blessed to have everyone helping us.

The work throughout the week went great. The framing is up and ready for the next crew. Wow! What can we say? Check out Week 2 to continue watching the progress.

First Baptist Church, Winfield, Missouri & Dawson Memorial Baptist Church, Birmingham, Alabama - Week 2: Another great week went by with much being accomplished by groups from Missouri (First Baptist Church - Winfield) and Alabama (Dawson Memorial Baptist Church - Birmingham) as well as group from our very own Kenosha Wisconsin. The roofing is in place and the shingles are going up. Electrical boxes and some wiring is getting installed.

We would love to personally thank everyone for their hard work. It was warm, especially on the roof, and everyone helped by using the gifts God has given them. Again, we have been blessed by everyone's generosity. We are looking forward to utilizing the new addition in order to serve Him! Thank you everyone.

Valley Baptist Church - Week 3: Valley Baptist Church members are continuing the work to ready the building for week 4 when local churches from Neenah and Green Bay join us. Welcome Living Vine Community Church and Highland Crest Baptist Church.

We enjoyed the company of the Fugates, former members that moved out east, as they helped us ready the building for drywall. We were also fortunate to enjoy the company of fellow brothers and sisters from Graceway Fellowship in Green Bay. The exterior gypsom board went up, electrical work continued, bracing was installed, and Mike from Missouri continued to roof the existing building. Progress is not as apparent as framing or roofing but it is being made. Again, weather has been good.

Valley Baptist Church - Week 4: Another week has passed and we have Living Vine Community Church, Highland Crest Baptist Church, and some members from Two Rivers Baptist Church in Nashville, Tennessee.

The framing of the lowered ceilings on the first floor was accomplished and can be seen in the associated photo album. The electrical work is progressing nicely thanks to Rollie from Buss Electric. Trader Plumbing as been working diligently as has our HVAC guys from Christensen Heating and Air Conditioning. Advantage Fire Sprinkler just got started installing the sprinkler pipes and we hope to pressure test next week.

Starting Monday, July 14, Jacob's Well members from Eau Claire will join us and begin drywalling.

Valley Baptist Church - Week 5: Members from Jacob's Well joined us this week and they jumped right in by starting to drywall the basement rooms. While they cannot possibly finish the entire basement, they have made excellent progress and again we are so thankful.

The sound/fire insulation is going in, the HVAC guys are still working hard along with the sprinkler system, and some exterior work has started. We are preparing for windows and the new electrical service as well. There is still a lot of work to do that everyone is staying busy and working as part of a team. Thank you everyone!

July 14

First Baptist Church Pinson & Riverview Baptist Church - Week 6: We welcomed more brothers and sisters to Appleton this week. FBC Pinson from Pinson, Alabama Riverview Baptist Church from Franklin, Ohio - Thank you! This large crew has made great progress on the drywalling that was started last week. Drywall dust abounds throughout the new addition ( and old) but it is all being done to further glorify Him so the cleanup efforts are worth it.

The flooring selections, colors for the walls, ceilings & door frames are being finalized since we are getting closer to completion and will be there before you know it. Again, the weather has been most accommodating. Note the first windows went in and we hope to complete them soon!
