Suddenly, we’re seeing major progress.  Our new Greenfield Chapel is starting to materialize before our very eyes.

Progress seems to come in spurts. We waited what seemed like a long time for inspections, paperwork, and county approval to happen, while the building site just sat quiet. Waiting.

Then, work crews showed up and the foundation happened, quickly it seemed. Then once again, while lots of workers came and went, scurrying around the building site, we couldn’t see any visible results. That’s simply because the crew was working on things like underground plumbing and waterproofing the foundation. These are, of course, necessary steps, but they don’t look like much to the outside viewer.

Watch This Space

Then, this past week we saw major progress: Work crews completed the concrete floor slab on the lower level. That done, they started framing. Suddenly, in a flurry of hoisting and hammering, the basic structure of the lower level started to take shape.

Over the next couple of months, we should begin to see the building take shape—lower level framing, followed by main level framing of floor and walls.

As of now, construction is still on schedule. Weather permitting, we could very well be enjoying the 2025 All-Day Christmas Meditation in our new chapel.

Help  Build Greenfield’s Chapel

This is a good place to acknowledge the loving support of the many devotees who have made building this chapel possible. Thank you for your years of prayers, volunteer work, and financial support.

It’s important to realize that every member of the work crew on this project receives wages. Every load of lumber, cinder blocks, or cement, comes with a cost.
