Bethany, MO: The Bethany Immanuel Baptist Church has made exceptional progress over the summer, with volunteer crews putting the finishing touches on the exterior of the building this week. The project had over 600 people committed to helping on the construction of the building over the summer, though, there’s still a long way to go before the area will be usable. Construction crews are now focusing on the interior, where they will be completing the drywall, mudding, and sanding.–Republican Clipper photo
