The former Taylor School building, 3700 Benson Road, has been reconstructed to meet the needs of Community Bible Church.

Its time to share the news: Community Bible Church is here and ready.

The members of Community Bible Church in Trenton are welcoming visitors to a family fun event on July 12 in order to celebrate the churchs grand opening.

The carnival-like celebration, which will take place from 1 to 5 p.m., will feature a clown, bouncy houses, face painting, balloon art, games, outdoor activities, and foods such as hot dogs and popcorn. The hot dogs are among the donations from the Grosse Ile Kroger for the grand opening.

The churchs pastor, the Rev. Ken Brown, will offer tours of the building to interested visitors during the event.

Our hope is to offer them a beautiful day, filled with fun and opportunities for learning more about us, said Kim LaChappelle of Grosse Ile, who is a member of the church's outreach committee, as is her husband, Eugene.

The afternoon also will include a presentation by Carol Hendricks of the Trenton Historical Society of a time capsule that was found in the raptors of the building, which used to be the Taylor School.

The school building has been reconstructed to meet the needs of the church. The church members have been meeting in the building for about a year, but now the construction is almost complete.
