Our bell tower has been the topic of conversation for a little over a year mainly because of the decision to contract the church’s tower to a cell phone company for an extended period of use. With this contract came the attachment of well camouflaged cell tower transmitters, but also the discovery that our tower was in need of some repair. After some time searching for a reliable masonry company we are pleased to say that the tower is repaired and all is in working order. Andy Nelson had made the climb up the bell tower in earlier nicer weather and has documented the journey.
Early photo of bell tower in our over 150 year history. Year is not known of photo, but it is clear that the steeple could be seen from many miles away.
