They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While most definitely a thing of beauty to local devotees who’ve waited for years to see it manifest, our new Greenfield Chapel has not yet revealed its true form.

Really, at present we are only looking at its bare bones. What now looks like a roof, for example, is sheathing; the actual roof has not yet been installed. And the current dark green walls will eventually disappear under attractive white siding.

What Comes Next?

Chapel framing is now substantially complete. At this point, scheduled roof and window installation is likely already underway. Once that is complete, the chapel will be pretty much watertight and interior work can begin in earnest.

Throughout the month of February, interior plumbing, electrical, and HVAC should get underway. Weather permitting, in March we should see siding go up on the exterior, and interior dry wall installed.

Take a moment and catch the vision: In the not-too-distant future, the chapel’s white colonial exterior will mirror the existing style of the main house and other buildings on the site. And the goopy mud currently surrounding the building will give way to flowers and greenery.

The good news—the really good news—is that, despite the snow and icy temperatures in January, Greenfield Chapel construction is still on schedule to be completed in the fall of 2025.

Please continue to pray for the safety and efficiency of the workers on the project. And, if you are able, consider making a donation to the Greenfield Building Fund to help support ongoing expenses of building this chapel.
