New Oak Hardwood Floor installed - June 2008

New Multi-purpose east addition, Gilliam Hall, Ready for use, September 2007

Note:  During the months of June and July, Gilliam Hall is closed due to the installation of the hardwook oak floor.  The end result will be a gymnasium type floor with Awana Game lines and half court basketball court lines painted permanently under coats of hardwood varnish.  The goal is to have the floor completely ready for VBS in August and for sure ready for the Awana restart in September.  To God be the glory great things He has done!

Heating unit installed and functioning - December 2007  Praise be to the Lord!

Dedication of Gilliam Hall was held on September 30, 2007.  Immediately following the regular morning service, the congregation moved into Gilliam Hall where there were special hymns, congregational readings, anointing with oil on the walls and a dedication prayer with laying on of hands prayer over the new hall.  Following this service, a church potluck followed.  The Alfred and Wilma Gilliam family were well represented at the dedication service.

The Lord be praised for His faithfulness, His protection, and His anointing on this project.  And multitudes of thanks to the workers of Princeton Nazarene for their countless hours of volunteer help.

Sheet Rock up - April 21, 2007

A crew of 15 put up the OSB board around the bottom rim two rows up from the floor and the rock was put up the rest of the way up the walls to the 14' height at the sides and the 18' height in the peaks.  There will be carpet attached to the OSB board (8' up all the way around the room).  This will provide wall protection and sound baffeling.  Next steps:  taping, painting, and ceiling coating.

Flooring, lights, and heating system to be completed this summer.  Dedication of completed project planned for September, 2007, with the Lord's help!
