Posted by Fred Steiner on September 4, 2014 - 6:34pm

NOTE: What some consider Ada's story of the century, the Ada United Methodist Church steeple was placed atop the church on Sept. 4, as construction to the building continues. The following story was written for the Ada Icon and is shared with Bluffton Icon viewers.

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.

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 4, 2014 - 5:08pm

No, this scene is not from Bluffton. But at 10:40 a.m. this morning Bluffton residents may have heard applause coming from Ada. The 18,000-pound steeple (9 tons) became a permanent fixture the the Ada First United Methodist Church today.

Over 200 persons watched the steeple being raised from ground level on Thursday. The process took about 45 minutes. Watch for videos.
