Tower work progressing...waiting for the bells!

Most of the exteriors work is complete on the bell tower now.  We are waiting for the bells to be delivered, and the new louvers to arrive from the manufacturer, for the louvers to go in.  The new bell platform in complete, along with the new ladder.  See below for a view...

The bells are set to arrive this week, with the new bell frame.  The newly re-cast bell has been delivered from Holland to our bell company.  Take a look at the new steel frame and the re-cast bell below.

Re-cast Bell delivered to our bell company

The bells are set to arrive, and be re-installed this week.  We plan on spending a few weeks figuring out how to use them, before our big Bell re-dedication on Sunday, November 18.  November 18 will be the first Sunday we ring the bells (though there may be some seek-peak times during the week).
