Dear Friends,
The LORD has blessed us abundantly with our church building project. The foundation work was completed in August. In September Maranatha volunteers from across Canada and the United States donated between two and three weeks of their time to help our small congregation move forward with this building expansion project.

The smaller addition (photo on left) is where the lobby and office/study will be located, and the larger addition (photo on right) is for two classrooms and a mother’s room.
If you have contributed in the past, we want to thank you for your generosity. This project may not have become a reality without your financial support!
We are only a small congregation and would really appreciate your prayers and financial support. If you would like to make a donation, please make your cheque payable to the “Truro SDA Church” and write “Church Building Project” on the memo line. Please send your cheque to our local church treasurer, John Cessford, at the address provided at the bottom of this letter.

The above picture is the old look of the Truro Seventh-day Adventist Church before the work was begun to give it a new look.
The picture below is the new look after the Maranatha Group from the United States and other parts of Canada came and volunteered about three weeks of their time to help bring about the new look of the church.
The Maranatha group, pictured below at the Pugwash SDA Church with some of the local Truro Church people, were at the Truro SDA Church since Friday, September 8th to build an addition on to the church that has completely changed the whole look of the church and has given the church much needed additional space. Although the work has been completed on the outside and the last of the Maranatha Group left on Thursday, September 28th, work is still being done on the inside with help from volunteers from some of our Nova Scotia and New Brunswick sister churches.
The pictures below shows the preparatory work that was done prior to the work done by the Maranatha group.
The next several pictures below shows the work that was done by the Maranatha group.
