NEW STEEPLE FOR SHEA CHAPEL SOON!  Last September, Hurricane Irma blew down and destroyed the steeple atop Shea Chapel at Upsala Presbyterian Church (Upsala Presbyterian Church was founded by Swedish immigrants in 1891, and Shea Chapel is the original sanctuary of this historic church.)  The process to find a manufacturer of steeples to replace the steeple on Shea Chapel has been a long one.  But we will soon take delivery (possibly by the end of June) of the new steeple!  Fiberglass Specialties Incorporated, in Henderson, Texas, is manufacturing the new steeple for us, and Shoemaker Construction Company, headquarted in Sanford, Florida, will be handling the installation.  The roof of the chapel sustained some damage in the storm, and repairs will be made prior to the installation of the new steeple.  The total cost of this project--- which includes the purchase of the new steeple, the repairs to the chapel roof, and the installation of the steeple--- will be approximately $17.000.  Special financial contributions to help offset the expense of this project may be sent to Upsala Presbyterian Church, 101 Upsala Rd., Sanford, FL  32771.
