After the Picnic

After the picnic, it was time to roll up sleeves and pitch in.

There was an official sod-turning ceremony on June 17,1990.

Here is Peter Coutts at the log pulpit outside on the spot where today's pulpit stands indoors.


Over the summer the site was prepared, cement poured, walls 
erected and rafters raised.



   I love the way the sun pours through the open roof.



  Once the building was completed, it was time to embed the plaque.
  


The first indoor service in the church building was held in April 1991

Of course, we want people to be able to find us, so we put up a sign.





There was still much more work to do outside as well as in but the congregation of Saanich Peninsula Presbyterian Church finally had a place to call home.
