On Sunday, October 13th the congregation visited the new Church site for a tour and blessing of the cross.
The picture below was taken as the congregation formed a Circle of Inspiration after the blessing.
On Monday, October 14th a crane arrived at 24 North Fifth to install the final roof railing for the roof deck and the cross. Pictures of the crane set-up were published in a previous blog, and are HERE.
Everyone was very pleased to see Jim Crawford at the site.
The pictures of the cross being raised from the staging area to the top of the cross tower are below. The rigging team found a small mis-alignment between the bracket on the cross and the structural component supporting the cross. A decision was made to re-work the bracket rather than modify it in-place.
The cross is expected to be installed on Friday, October 18th.
