The Changing Face of King of Peace—Part I

May 2001 was an exciting month at King of Peace. Both the land and the building underwent some significant changes. Photos of the work are here at this page and at a second page, which shows the later part of the project. More photos of King of Peace can also be found in our online scrapbook.

A major challenge on April 30, 2001 was to safely bring down a very heavy non-structural beam
from the garage ceiling.

To show that the building blocks that form King of is people, the congregation was invited to right their names on the concrete block foundation in the garage. Our church is being built of living stones.

King of Peace's heavily wooded back five acres have been greatly opened up through
bush hogging the property.
