staff members visible include (from left) Steve Belcher, Sean
Stephens and Gerald Green. The staff coped not only with limited

| The last furnishing removed from the old First
Church of God building on Avant Avenue prior to the congregation's
move to their new facility at 1900 Lexington was this 17 to
19-feet-tall steeple which has been purchased by the Assembly
of God Church in Arapaho. Arapaho Assembly pastor Rev. Lee Gleason
said today that the steeple will need a little alteration in
order to fit the roof pitch of his church. "It'll add to
the church," he indicated. The new steeple will be only
the second one on a church at Arapaho, joining the Baptists;.
Shown here at work taking down the steeple are (operating the
crane) Shane McMaster, (on roof from left) Ralph Roll and Mark
