On Friday afternoon we had the Dyrness Chapel Renovation Groundbreaking Ceremony. It was a beautiful ceremony. We are so thankful for the ways God was at work in the hearts of people in the Dyrness Memorial Chapel and we are looking forward to see the lives He will change in the renovated chapel!
There are six photographs below.
Rob Ribbe began by welcoming everyone. There were four guest speakers and then four people who prayed.
Then the groundbreaking was begun by Rob Ribbe, President Phil Ryken, Jason Bernard (Architect), Darren Rubo (General Contractor) and Bill Long (HoneyRock Construction Manager.)
Next the Senior Administrative Cabinet (SAC) of Wheaton College: Marilee Melvin, Mark Dillon, Stan Jones, Dale Kemp and Paul Chelsen.
After that the HoneyRock Community was invited to come and break some ground. So you will see the Ribbe family. And then Bill and Nancy Long. And finally, the littlest groundbreaker--Charlie Welsh (son of John and Lauren Welsh--John is the Finance and Advancement Director of HoneyRock.)
Many thanks to Jonathan Heidengren for taking these lovely pictures!
