The Great Unveiling

Good news! On Saturday, October 29th there will be a "Great Unveiling" ceremony at our house site. Elgin city officials, Gifford Park historical society members, employees of Omron, the corporate sponsor, and our family will all be present. A small portion of the particularly ugly white vinyl siding will be removed to reveal the original wood exterior.

The work will continue after the ceremony, the goal being the complete removal of the vinyl siding. This process, along with a planned new roof done by a contractor feels like a real breakthrough. After watching, waiting, and praying, it seems that the work is really getting started! Initially, there will be more done by professionals, with volunteers coming on site in December at the earliest. Friends and family are welcome to come the the unveiling, the ceremony with be in the morning but the time has yet to be determined.


"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:18
