Lebanon Church Moved Across Street

Church can be a moving experience for some, but in Lebanon Wednesday, it was the church itself that was moving.

Work crews lifted the Redeemer Evangelical Church off its foundation and loaded it on a truck. The church was moved across Beaumont Highway and placed next to the parishioners' Fellowship Hall.

"Anxious and happy at the same time, said Rev. Scott Schuett, the church's pastor. "Anxious because I don't want it to tip over while they're moving it. Also excited knowing that we're able to expand our ministry."

The church was built with wood from an old schoolhouse destroyed and oak trees knocked down during the Hurricane of 1938.

Parishioners are in the process of raising $60,000 to cover the costs of the move.
