Roof Trusses Are Being Installed
Visible progress on the new building is evident on a daily basis now, as the framers continue to rough in the building. The first half of the roof trusses went up on Thursday, with the rest scheduled to go up on Monday. Here are a few more photos of the progress.
Framing Done on our New Building

The foundation is done, the elevator shaft has been built, and now most of the framing is done. Roof trusses are scheduled to go up in the next week. Check out some of the progress photos below! … continue reading
2011 Christmas Concert Highlights
Here’s our 35 minute concert reduced to under 10 minutes; just a sampling from each song. We are definitely looking forward to being in our new building for next year. Our current space doesn’t accommodate cameras very well, with columns in the way, etc., so this video doesn’t’ provide the best view. Next year should be better!
Thanksgiving 2011
Thanksgiving is one of those holidays where many travel to be with family or friends. This year, several families from our church ended up staying home for the holiday, and one of our members decided to host a get-together at the beautiful old train station in New Milford. After a fantastic meal, we had a time of singing and special music followed by a brief devotional and time of testimonies.
Times of fellowship like this are among the richest joys we cherish as brothers and sisters in Christ.
Check out some photos from the afternoon in our photo gallery.

Church Meeting Off Site This Sunday
Redding has been without power most of this week, due to last week’s snow storm. Power was recently restored to our building, but there are still some lingering maintenance issues, and we have already made alternate meeting plans.
We will be meeting at the Diffell residence this Sunday instead of our normal location in Redding. Sunday school will begin as normal at 10:00am, Sunday Service at 11:00am. A meal will follow and then the Sunday evening service sometime between 2:00 and 3:00 depending on when the meal is complete.
Please call Ken Brooks at 203-798-7394 for directions if you would like to join us this Sunday.
New Building Foundation Poured
