June 26 - Ground Breaking Ceremony


The building committee, people truly outstanding in their field.

The oldest member, Florence Hillukka, and Jared Moll, representing the youngest end of the congregation scooped out the first shovelfuls of dirt, thus commemorating the start of the building project. Paul and Brenda Hillukka look on, offering timely advice on proper shoveling technique.  
Jeff Pilon, mayor of Nowthen welcomed the
congregation to the community.
Markus Lohi served with God's word.
The congregation gathered on the building site on Sunday, June 26, for the ceremonial
ground breaking. While the  photo accurately depicts a building corner, it is hard to be
certain if the assembly is inside the church perimeter of not. Let's just say it is. This
then can be the first congregation event held inside the new church boundary.
