I know I promised you pictures of the finished chapel but until I get the pictures from Gene's camera you are going to have to be happy with the picture of Pastor Karla's reaction and this picture of the altar. At the closing prayer, Alan, the Caretaker, was so filled with Thanksgiving that his prayer moved all of us to tears. It was awesome to be a part of this week - rain and all.
Here is the team, surrounding Pastor Karla.
After all of this, we celebrated with pizza.
