A well-deserved and impromptu round of applause.

That sound resonated throughout Main Street Ada at 10:40 a.m., Thursday, Sept. 4, marking the successful lifting and placement of a 18,000-pound steeple (9 tons) atop the Ada First United Methodist Church.

LOTS OF PHOTOS AND VIDEOS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS STORY.

An appreciative crowd of over 200 persons talked, hugged, photographed, took videos and walked away knowing they’d remember today for a long, long time.

One person said it might be the event of the century in Ada.

This Thursday the contractor for the First United Methodist Church building project plans to lift the final stage of the steeple on to the tower. 

Assuming no unexpected delays, this should take place in the vicinity of 10 a.m.  Viewing must be from across Main Street. 

The church message to persons interested in watching this proceedure: It is always possible the 120-ton crane could start a bit earlier so don't plan to be fashionably late and don't be surprised if it happens closer to 10:30 a.m. There are a lot of variables that will not be encountered until the process begins.
