The Topping Out Ceremony
January 4, 2007
A Brief, but beautiful ceremony marking the
completion of the steel work on Thursday morning at 8:30
Rev. George Morris and Frank Wisniewski rode the boom lift to mount both the
American Flag and the Methodist Flag
at the crown of the building. The lift was operated from the ground by
Chuck Roth, Construction Manager.
|
The two photos on the right are by Frank Cahill, and were shot from behind the structure. |

The Last Beams are Installed

 |
| The mid-morning sun projected these shadows on the back of the Sanctuary | One of the last beams | Zoom View of the same | |

 |
| A small rope is tied on to each side of the beams as a guide | Although each
beam weighs several hundred pounds, in the wind it will act just like a sail |
