That’s not a really creative title, sorry. I’m not feeling super creative at the moment. Why’d I choose it? Well, because I noticed that both sides of the reconstructed bell tower had louvers installed since the last time I was out to take pictures. There’s also a lot more brick on the walls, and I […]
As promised… here are some photos of the rededication and blessing of the 1901 Immanuel Lutheran Giddings bell. It sure looks nice! After the end of the service, folks got to write verses and messages inside the addition. I made sure there was one verse in Wendish: “W spočatku bě słowo, a słowo bě pola

Immanuel Lutheran Giddings put on a community Trunk or Treat tonight. The turnout was fantastic… and James had a great time! Looks like the other folks in attendance did too. You really can’t beat an event that has candy for the kids and brats for the adults!

I spent most of the day out in the parking lot across from Immanuel working from the passenger seat of the Expedition, and occasionally taking pictures of what turned out to be the final day of bell tower demolition… well, except for knocking down the short stubs that are left. There was one exciting moment

Today was a “down day” for the crew cutting up the old bell tower. All that happened (not to imply that this isn’t important) is that dump trucks brought in load after load of fill dirt, and the workers spread and compacted it. This is setting the stage for pouring the piers and slab in
