Field Trip to Earthworks Quarry

Earthworks of Perryville, Missouri is providing the stone for the exterior of the church. We're delighted to have such a relatively local source for the stone, and grateful to Earthworks for being great to work with and for helping us make the finances work. We needed to pick up a sample pallet, and took the opportunity to tour one of Earthworks' quarries.

A diamond-tipped blade can last up to six months

This expansive quarry is one of several operated by the company.
