Christmas at Elk Hill

"My Christmas Wish is that everyone can celebrate Christmas with their family!" "Thank you Elk Hill for helping me change my life and be with my family this Christmas!" Youngsters  in the Elk Hill Farm programs and schools shared these wishes at the annual Christmas celebration held in the W. E. Singleton Chapel on December 18th.

As residents, students, faculty, staff, families, board members and friends gathered to celebrate the successes of the central Virginia institution that has helped so many youth throughout Virginia, " helping kids and families find courage"  had a special meaning.  A Christmas feast followed the Chapel  service in the Brown Dining Hall with a special visit from Santa, his elves and a Snow Queen on roller skates.

Salem Baptist Church Takes Shape!

The new 26,000 square foot Worship Center for Goochland County's Salem Baptist Church takes shape as a lull lifts wood plywood roof sheathing in place over the future worship space.  With volunteer Christian builders, the new facility, should soon be under roof.  Participants in the church's Bethlehem Walk celebration should see the roof close to being completely dried in.

As one of the largest SteelLite building projects,  the new facility illustrates the benefits of pre-engineered construction to save hundreds of thousands of dollars in construction cost.   Where there is God's will, God will make a way!
