New Tabernacle Work Set to Begin at Morrison Park, Two Brothers Construction

Work is set to soon begin on the new tabernacle at Morrison Park.  The structure is to be built on the exact spot where the original altar area of the old tabernacle once stood. The new tabernacle will be built over, but not upon the old concrete pad that once served the altar area. The concrete is far from perfect but it is usable, and for costs sake, it had to be utilized. If the time ever comes when it is economically possible for a new floor, the structure will not have to to disturbed. The Tabernacle will be approx. 80 ft x 24 ft, slightly narrower than first planned. This will allow for the use of the original metal trusses from the old tabernacle to be used. The exact date of the construction of the original tabernacle is not known, but a 1913 article, states "the park has a large new tabernacle."  The original tabernacle was enlarged by Rev. H.C. Morrison in 1931, but there is no doubt the rounded top metal trusses go back to the original structure. After much seeking and much prayer, the Lord led us to "Two Brothers Construction", who have been so excited at the opportunity to build the new tabernacle, and we are so comforted to have found someone with the skills to utilize the old trusses in the new building. Unfortunately the trusses are the only things usable from the original structure. It was so important for us to use them. We feel the size of the new structure is what we can presently afford, however; as time continues and if circumstances dictate the need, and if more finances become available, the tabernacle could always be enlarged to accommodate any future need. After the completion of the structure, a decking will have to be build for the podium area, and it will have to be wired for electricity. We are optimistic all this can be accomplished in the next several weeks, and that the tabernacle could be ready for use by early fall. We are so excited at the reality, that a new tabernacle will soon grace the grounds at Morrison Park. It has been a long hard road to get to this point. Many prayers have gone out, and so many have been offered up for the success of the park, We realize that this could never have been accomplished without the generosity of such wonderful people who have so freely and cheerfully given. We love you all, and can never repay your kindness, and trust in us to accomplish this goal. Please continue to pray for the parks success, and that all will go as planned. God bless you all.
