In October 2010 an arsonist (still not caught) set our Church building on fire destroying the entire structure. It was sad. We knew we would rebuild and things would be fine, but it was sad that someone would do that and sad for people that had memories with that building. The community was very nice and offered places for us to meet while we rebuilt, if needed. In the meantime, our ward met in the Stake Center with 3 other wards that were already there and the other ward we used to share the building with met in a different Church building in a different stake. Well about 15 mo's later we moved into our new Church building and needless to say, we were all very excited! It's nice having a new building, but it's even better to have 9am church again! We had 12:30 and 1:30pm church for over 2 years. Yikes!
Here's some pictures of the building after the fire.
On Saturday, we had the ribbon cutting ceremony followed by the open house. Then on Sunday night, we had the dedication. The Church is bigger, has more rooms, but the rooms are smaller. The gym is smaller too. The wood is dark and the upholstery is a dark, paisley blue. Very pretty.

What no fabulous comments? I will make one. It is so nice to see your chapel re-done. I'm sure everyone is so happy. Can't wait for a visit. Love the snow everywhere. (Well except here! Nice...)
