The most striking new addition to the connector is the stacked stone. On the outside, the stone blends very well with the existing brick, a brick that was difficult to match with new brick, while giving the church a modern but very welcoming front door.
On the inside, the stacked stone on the columns will give the connector a warm and inviting environment as our member, and our guests, come through the doors. The stone is not completely up, but the first floor is a good indicator of how it will look.
There are a few other things I also have to show you. The framing off most of the interior walls is in place and, even in some places, the drywall itself is up. This should give you a good idea of the spaces and rooms that come off of the main section of the connector.
