The Lord is blessing the Abita Springs, Louisiana area with a historical landmark from another country. All the way from Nova Scotia, Canada the building will become Louisiana Church's new sanctuary, complete with a reconditioning of the materials, such as the heavy timber construction's open beam design.

The building was constructed originally about 200 years ago in Granville, Nova Scotia, Canada, and will be soon on its way to the small, historical town of Abita Springs.The dismantling of the church is just about complete as of this writing in late November 2009. The material will be cleaned up, refinished as needed, packaged and transported south to a new home, where it will be erected on the property of the Louisiana Church, and the Abita Christian Daycare, located at 22376 Main Street, Abita Springs, Louisiana.

This collection of photographs were taken on Thursday afternoon while the workers were diligently trying to get their work done so that the would be ready for the arrival of a crane on Friday. As each of the planks which have lined the sides of the church for nearly 200 years fell, the workers let out a triumphant whoop. (Saturday, November 21, 2009)
