EDWARDS Benny Clark and Jerry Milsaps looked around like proud parents watching their children accomplish great things.
Which, of course, they are.
On Sunday, Trinity Church dedicated a building project that almost doubled its capacity, dubbed by pastor Ethan Moore to be the Its Not About The Building building project.
And it turns out, its not about the brick and mortar. Its about community, family and the legacy, said Melinda Carlson. She was at the keyboard of the grand piano at the front of the room, backed by a full-on praise band.
Trinity Church started small, as do most great things, and some of the valleys most far-reaching ministries started in the basement of that little log cabin building.
But before we can tell you that story, we have to tell you this story.
The early years
In the beginning, the Allen family ranched that land for generations. They decided that the site in Edwards would be home to a church.
It was 1975 when Pastor Bill Irwin gave the first sermon. Construction was barely begun, and Irwin was surrounded by excited people, stacks of lumber, and power tools.
The pulpit was plank between two saw horses.

Trinity Church in Edwards celebrates new building, its 40-year past
Shares His Concerns for Congolese Youth, Urges Fidelity to the Gospel in Ad Limina Message Vatican City, September 12, 2014 (Zenit.org) Staff | 302 hits
The education of young people in order to overcome violence and inequality, the participation of the Church in building society and the consolidation of peace and her mission in aid of those whom life has wounded were the main issues in the discourse Pope Francis handed to the bishops of the Democratic Republic of Congo this morning, at the end of their ad Limina visit.
The Church in the Democratic Republic of Congo is a young Church, writes the Holy Father. However, it is also a Church of youth. Children and adolescents, in particular, need God's strength to help them resist the many temptations of a precarious life in which they are unable to study or find work.I am sympathetic to their plight, and I know you share their sorrows, their joys and hopes. I think with horror especially of those children and young people conscripted into militias and forced to kill their own countrymen. I encourage you, therefore, to pursue the pastoral care of youth. By providing the greatest assistance possible, especially through the creation of spaces for human, spiritual and professional formation, you can help them discover their deepest vocation that predisposes them to encounter the Lord.
The most effective way to overcome violence, inequality and ethnic divisions is to equip the young with a critical mind and to offer them the opportunity to mature an understanding of Gospel values. It is also necessary to strengthen pastoral care in universities and in Catholic and public schools, combining education with the clear proclamation of the Gospel. ... Similarly, to face the problem of family breakdown, caused in particular by war and poverty, it is essential to promote and encourage all initiatives to strengthen the family, the source of brotherhood and the foundation and first road to peace.
Fidelity to the Gospel also implies that the Church participates in the construction of the city. One of the most valuable contributions that the local church can offer your country is to help people rediscover the relevance of faith in daily life and the need to promote the common good. Similarly, leading figures in the nation, enlightened by pastors and in relation to their skills, can also be supported in incorporating Christian teachings in their personal lives and in the exercise of their duties in the service of the state and society. In this sense, the Magisterium of the Church, especially the encyclical Caritas in Veritate, the post-Synodal apostolic exhortation Africae munus and the recent apostolic exhortation Evangelii gaudium, are invaluable tools.
The Pope urges the Congolese bishops to work tirelessly for the establishment of a just and lasting peace through a pastoral of dialogue and reconciliation among the various sectors of society, supporting the process of disarmament, and promoting effective collaboration with other religious denominations. He emphasises that at this time, when the country is currently experiencing political events that are important for the future, it is necessary for the Church to make her contribution, avoiding the risk of becoming substitute for political institutions and temporal realities that must retain their autonomy. In particular, pastors must be careful not to take on roles that rightfully belong to the lay faithful, whose mission is justly that of bearing witness to Christ and the Gospel in politics and in all other areas of their activities.
After highlighting the need for collaboration between all pastoral workers in the various fields of the apostolate, especially in education, health and charitable aid, Francis reminds the prelates that there are high expectations of them in defence of spiritual and social values, and he urges them to provide guidance and solutions for the promotion of a society based on respect for the dignity of the human person. In this regard, attention to the poor and needy, as well as the elderly, the sick and disabled, should be the subject of adequate pastoral care under constant review. Indeed, the Church is called to be concerned with the wellbeing of these people and to bring the attention of society and public authorities to their situation.
The Holy Father concludes by encouraging the bishops to be men of hope for the people and gave thanks for the work of all missionaries, priests, religious and other pastoral workers dedicated to the service of those who have been wounded by life, the victims of violence, especially in the most isolated and remote areas of the country, and reserved special mention for the internally displaced and the many people who come from neighbouring countries.

The remarkable significance of the Catholic church of St James in Reading will be conveyed to visitors over this weekend's Heritage Open Days.
The church, which is between Forbury Gardens and the prison, was the first designed by the Victorian architect Augustus Pugin, who was later to produce the drawings for much of the Houses of Parliament.
Some of the stones used in its construction came from the rubble of the Abbey and the baptismal font is made from material found in the Abbey ruins a few years before the church was built.
Features of the weekend at the church include:
Photographs of the church from a collection of those taken by Woodley Photographic Club.
An audio-visual presentation by Norman Horsham to be shown at intervals throughout the day.
On Sunday, at 12.15pm, after morning mass, celebrated organist Richard Lester will give a recital, on the churchsTamburini organ, of music composed to be played in St Marks, Venice, in the 16th Century.
Talks about the churchs history at 11.30am and 3pm on Friday and Saturday, and at 3pm on Sunday.

Next time you use your fridge, dishwasher or stove, be careful that you're not unknowingly making it vulnerable to an early breakdown.
Appliance repair pros who've earned top ratings from Angie's List members offer tips for making sure your kitchen appliances meet or exceed their expected life spans:
Average life span: 10 to 15 years.
Basic maintenance tips:
Keep your stove clean, but avoid getting cleaning fluid or water into dials and switches, which are connected to electrical components.
Avoid using aluminum foil under the oven's bake element or oven coil. Appliance technicians say the reflective surface can disrupt the heat level, leading to over- or under-cooked food.
Repair or replace? Consider replacing if you're investing more than half the price of new unit into a repair.
Average life span: Six to 15 years.
Basic maintenance tips:
Clean the condenser coils at least once a year and more often if you have pets. The coils are typically under or behind the unit, and sometimes on top. Over time, they collect dust, debris and pet hair. A dirty condenser makes it difficult for the refrigerator to transfer heat from within to the outside, which wastes energy and can cause premature breakdown. You can buy refrigerator coil brushes online or at hardware stores or you may be able to clean them by hand and with your vacuum cleaner.

Keep care of kitchen appliances on the front burner
Ray Cadmore, a teacher and project officer at the Sunraysia Institute in Victoria, Australia is spending the next few weeks in the United States as a Fulbright Scholar. The Fulbright program is an international educational exchange program designed to increase the mutual understanding between the people of the United States and those from other countries.
Cadmore has spent the last five weeks in Winston-Salem, N.C. Kansas State University is hosting the Australian educator this week as he is visiting a variety of different educational institutions and businesses in the Midwest including KCKCC and Johnson County Community College as well as the K-State Olathe campus and the main K-State campus in Manhattan, Kan. Cadmore will return to North Carolina at the end of this week, where he will then travel to locations such as Boston, Mass. and New York before returning home in November.
I am interested in seeing how community colleges go about working with industry and government to development new projects, especially those having to do with emerging technology, he said. This is the perfect place to have a look.
Cadmore described the Sunraysia Institute as a community college with a technical emphasis. He started off his day at the KCKCC-TEC talking with director Rich Piper about the differences in education and working with industry officials to improve curriculum and programming. The discussion was followed by a tour of the TEC facility including visits in the construction technology, major appliance repair and electrical programs, among others.
Piper spoke about the increased emphasis on technical education programs, in part, because of the large number of shortages in many of these highly specialized fields a similar problem to what is happening in Australia. He said while there are just more than nine million Americans out of work, there are 4.5 million job openings. A lot of these job openings, however, are for skilled laborers meaning someone cannot walk in off the street and start working.
A lot of young adults here dont know what a CNC operator is or what a welder does. Those shop classes are no longer available to them in high school, Piper said. What we have to do is ask all of our counselors (at the high school level) to give students all of their options. High school graduates do have other options available to them than just a four-year college.
Piper said only six percent of high schools in the United States have a four-year industrial arts program at the high school level. He said that is starting to increase due to the shortage of laborers. Piper said what needs to happen is to bring back the mentality of Rose the Riveter and Wanda the Welder.
When they started to eliminate those shop classes (in high school), that is where you saw dropout rates of young men across all ethnic backgrounds skyrocket, Piper said. Some of our programs have 100 percent job placement. Businesses are searching for quality people, and they cant expand their business without people to work.
Cadmore was impressed with many programs in the United States as well as the Kansas City area that place a strong focus on technical careers and higher education such as STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and PrepKC, a local organization that works to improve the education of students who live in the urban areas of Kansas City.
He said he also found it interesting how colleges throughout the United States work together to provide quality programs that help students become successful after they graduate.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) Contractors are making final preparations for the implosion of the Queen Lane Apartment building in Germantown as the Philadelphia Housing Authority isplanning to build 55 low-rise, affordable town home rentalsthat will be completed next year.
At 16 stories high and nearly a block wide, the Queen Lane Apartment Building is a formidable structure. But at 7:15 Saturday morning itll be reduced to rubble.
Just imagine the capacity of the dust thats going to occur when the building does come down, says Bilquis Basset who lives on Priscilla Street, adjacent to the construction.
She and more than 90 other residents who live in a one block radius known as the evacuation zone have been asked to be out of their homes by 6 a.m. Saturday.
Of course were concerned about the cleanup of windows and our doors, but our most concern is health-wise, she says. Many of the children and elders on this block have asthma and whenever there is dust coming from the building I can barely speak and have to go inside.
Lamita Robinson lives across the street from the site and like Basset, shes concerned about the effects that may be left behind after the dust settles.
My sons asthma is really bad and theres a lot of dust and I know there is asbestos in the building because I saw the signs when walking my dog. So Im not happy, Robinson said.
