The dedication of Bellbrook UMC's new Addition was held this past Sunday.
Bishop Ough, our resident West Ohio bishop, delivered the sermon to a "full house".
Following the worship service, the congregation proceeded to the new Addition for a Consecration Service led by Bishop Ough & Dr. Chris Heckerman, the MV District Superintendent.
The Cornerstone was laid and a Time Capsule will be sealed behind it.
An Open House followed in the afternoon.
A mini tour in photographs can be found in the Common Cup Photo Gallery.
We could see big smiles lighting up the place all afternoon. Yet it has been less than a year when the members were seriously considering a vote to obligate themselves to such a big undertaking (it was a unanimous YES vote).
Now there are stories of members going the extra mile in donating necessary items which were not funded. (a lot of excitement in the office when another truck pulls up and unloads a new stove or a 3 compartment stainless sink)
There must have been many who were thinking of a tireless worker in the church for so many years and who passed away last year - that being Don Queary.
I'm sure someone must have silently looked up and said, "Well Donnie, how are we doing?"
