Winter 1999-2000 Feature
Working
Hard, or Hardly Working?
by

This
is an easy one...our crew has been working very hard
trying to get to
everyone’s
project before winter.
On October 11, 1999, the UCS crew was on-site in
Memphis, Tennessee to erect this 98' octagon for Holy
Temple House of Deliverance.
On September 20, we began
assembling a 110’ geodesic dome for Faith Soldiers
Word Ministries in Charlotte, North Carolina. This
project’s location is very unique: the church’s
property is at the edge of a golf course. Ann Ferguson
was able to get a few holes in during her visit to the
job site (yeah right). Ann did, however, spend time with
Pastor Carl Turner and prospective clients. She also
visited some of our past North Carolina projects.
The first of October, you
would have found us working with our old friends from
Alexander Construction as well as the fine people of
Trinity Full Gospel Church in Lake Milton, Ohio. We know
how excited Pastor Long was to build the 60’ dome. He
dearly wanted his wife to see the new building, but she
passed on before we arrived. She watched over the
project from heaven.
We know that Al
Serakowski, who passed away earlier this year, would be
very proud of his son Greg. Greg took over Alexander
Construction after losing his father. We also know how
excited Al would be to have their company in our
newsletter twice in one year.
On October 11, we were
busy prepping arches, getting them ready to install for
Holy Temple House of Deliverance. This Memphis church is
building a 98’ octagon for its brand new complex. Our
crew teased Bishop Bayman about getting a tool belt
because he was on-site with them every day. Fred Fields
of Economy Remodeling and Construction is the general
contractor. This is our second project with Mr. Fields
in four months. We hope there are many more in the
future.
Next adventure...Akron,
Ohio. On November 8, we began assembling an 80’ dome
for Mount Calvary Baptist Church. This building has a
block sidewall, so our crew was only responsible for the
laminated beams and insulated roof panels. Our shingling
crew arrived a week later to roof the dome. We were
fortunate to work again with the fine people of Krumroy
Construction on another successful project. Dan Cozad,
and the staff of Krumroy Construction have always been a
pleasure to work with.
Presently we are in Port
Huron, Michigan assembling a 110’ octagon for Ross
Bible Church. December 13, we are headed to Hagerstown,
Maryland to build an 80’ hexagon for Church of God
Universal. Before Christmas we will be in Grand Haven,
Michigan setting arches for Lakeshore Baptist Church’s
96’ octagon. For project updates between newsletters
