Workers from Brentwood Builders and Great Bend Crane Rental LLC in Great Bend were out Friday morning to remove the fallen steeple and damaged base from the roof of Trinity Lutheran Church, 2701 24th St., Great Bend. The top portion of the steeple, which was put up in the mid 1950’s according to church members, and weighs around 3,500 pounds, according to removal crews, blew off of the roof in Wednesday’s windstorm which blew through Barton County and much of Kansas. The process of removing the damaged steeple took close to two hours Friday morning and into the afternoon.
