Grace Connection’s new building rises from the ground Look for progress to be swift at the construction site along Hwy 10, east of New York Mills. 9:05 am, Jun. 11, 2021 × Ron Malone of Malone Construction runs a power trowel over a new pour of concrete at the Grace Connection Church's new site Wednesday, June 9, 2021. Michael Johnson/Pioneer Journal Under a scorching summer sun, crews of volunteers and members of the Grace Connection Church have been sweating away on a new church building with a goal of putting a roof over their heads sooner than later. They began their exciting new church build May 20 and have quickly set the foundation with walls going up soon after thanks to an impressive group from Volunteer Christian Builders, based out of Pleasanton, Texas. The heat was speeding the curing of the concrete slab so fast they had to keep wetting it down to slow the process and protect their new foundation, according to concrete contractor Ron Malone, who was contracted to pour the slab. That process was completed on Wednesday, June 9, with the third and final pour of the church floor. Another slab was to be poured for a carport area.
