Today we started out the day by heading to church at First Congregational Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We were married in this church on June 7, 1980 and celebrated our 25th Anniversary there before we left to go full-timing in our first RV.
A derecho hit Cedar Rapids and other parts of Iowa really bad on August 10, 2020 and our church sustained a ton of damage. Luckily, the Church Board had always paid for the premium insurance and so the renovation has been reimbursed for the most part by insurance. Not to say, that they didn't have to fight the insurance company for a lot of it.
At any rate this is the sanctuary at the present time. The floor was just put in. There was a lot of work done in here prior to it getting to this point. One of the main reasons that the insurance company has balked is that this church was designed by Grant Wood. Therefore what the insurance company thought was wood in a lot of instances was molded plaster.
Here is a look at what it looks like thus far. Needless to say, church services were held in the Hall downstairs.
