Dirt today, concrete tomorrow

Ground
Originally uploaded by Cross and Crown.

After months and months, planning and replanning, zoning battles ... and with prayer and trust in God all along the way, dirt has broken for the new Rock Island, across the street from Cross & Crown on the SW corner of NW 9th and McKinley.

It's the first new construction this neighborhood has seen for a generation or two.

Thanks to Urban Contractors for the dirtwork. The slab will be poured on Tuesday, June 28.

Praise God.

The plan is to build the two story structure to house a children and youth ministry for the youth in the neighborhood.

There is an occasion for everything,
and a time for every activity under heaven ...
a time to tear down and a time to build. Ecc. 3
