Then and Now

For three years Melody and I served as chaplains at the Marketplace Chapel in West Edmonton Mall. It shut down at the end of July and is undergoing renovations.
The top photo was taken the last evening it was open. The bottom shot show the current state of renovations. It is scheduled to reopen in January.
On Wednesday we will be meeting wth the church that will be running the chapel to discuss the role we wil play in the day to day operation of the chapel

Nice idea for a collage, such a shame to lose such a facility.

[Jenfurj]

We tend to baulk at progress but it will be interesting to see the completed project. You go a great job.

[alia_801]

What a difference. It will be good to look back and see the changes. I hope the meetings go well.

[Anita Campbell]

They really started from nearly scratch, didn't they?

[Diane]

Wow--they are making big changes. I hope it opens on time and you like the changes. It sound like a wonderful ministry, serving people where they work and shop.

[Tony]

Looks like a lot of work still needs to be done.

[Gayle]

Great comparison shots! :-)

[bruni]

It looks ok the way it was, but maybe it has to change with changes in the mall.
