After a wonderful service put on by the Church School kids, we had the official ground breaking ceremony to start construction on our parking lot behind the church building. Many people gave a lot of time doing preliminary work, - clearing the lot, getting approval from the Town of Lynnfield and our property abutters, getting financing and in general getting ready for the actual construction. Some key players are shown here (left to right) Chuck Cotting, Marcia Imbrescia, Phil Johnson, The Rev. Raymond Patch, Rick Carey and his daughter Allison and Bill Hoey. Thanks to everyone who helped get this project underway.

Here's Chuck actually breaking ground.
