It's a sign!
Visiting the building site on a Thursday, before the prayer meeting, is becoming something of a habit and, maybe, a pleasure. When I went in this evening there was this "thing" on the floor. I knew that it was going to be there, François had told me when I spoke to him earlier, but I hadn't quite cottoned on to what it was exactly...
It's a sign that we have been given by a church in Charleroi that has recently moved and had a clear out. At least I think that's where it comes from, that kind of depends on whether I have understood correctly what François was saying, which may not be the case. Anyway, it says "Eglise Protestante Evangélique" on the front. It could do with some TLC but we may just be able to find a use for it.
Alain and François have been working at the church most of this week. This is a shot of the first wall to be completely finished. The others are about half way done now.
They've also made a start on marking out the walls for what will, eventually, be the toilets. I think the pipe is for a sink, but I can't be totally sure without pulling the plans out and having a look. Actually, even then I may not be able to say conclusively.
A huge thanks to François for giving up the majority of his week off to work at the church and thanks too to Alain for all his hard work in getting that first wall finished off.
