I had to walk away because I was ready to give it up.
After a cup of coffee and a prayer something clicked. And I'm happy to say it's done.
Thank you Cheryl Mae for all the encouragement.

I extended my sky since the cross on my real Church is on the steeple - this cross was my mom's. Bottom snow may 'melt' when all blocks are ready to assemble - will see how it all fits together.
It so much fun checking out the 'creativity' of BOM builders. Have you read Pillars of the Earth? You all now can empathize with the characters - they too struggled while erecting Churches!
