The New Chapel Is At Its New Home

 

 

The temporary chapel is packed and ready to have the supplies moved to the new chapel.

 

 

Lead Chaplain Jim Smalley was excited to get a new chapel. This is one of TFC’s mobile chapels and was placed here on a temporary basis until the new chapel was finished.

 

 

While we waited for the chapel to arrive, Chaplain Jim stopped to visit with a Christian driver.

 

 

There it comes! I never get tired of this sight.

 

 

 

 

Cerwin pulled in next to the other chapel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Removing the steps and putting them in their storage box.

 

 

After Cerwin pulled the temporary chapel forward, Glenn Fahnestock drove the new chapel around the back to be in a position to pull it into place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took this photo from the driver’s seat of International Chapel #1 – which had been here for the past few months.

 

 

A group of men from Living Waters Chapel, Lebanon, PA, came to help set up and move things from one chapel to the other.  They also brought lunch.

Is it level yet?

Putting a screen in the window.

 

 

Chaplain Jake arrived to be part of the excitement. He serves here and is also a chaplain for some local truck terminals.

Putting the living quarters air conditioner in place.

 

 

I left at this point, because I still had some office work to complete and wanted to be home shortly after noon.

The guys worked until about 4:00 p.m. – and there were still boxes of supplies for the chaplains to put in place.

 

 

It was easy to ask Jim and Jake to smile today.

Jim said,”I feel like a king.”
