Hole in the Wall!

Everyone has been asking when the construction crew will be cutting the hole in the sanctuary wall creating access to the new Family Life Center addition.

Well, the answer is: Monday.

Crews cut through the wall Monday and for the next several days (and maybe even next Sunday) we will be worshipping in somewhat of a construction zone.

The good news is that cutting through the wall means the end of the project is near.

Work will continue in earnest this week on bathroom plumbing, electrical finishes and, of course, the new sanctuary entrance.

In just a few short weeks, flooring for the new addition will be installed and inspections will be conducted.

Before you know it, the construction will be complete and we will be able to begin using the new space for ministry!

Video Update: Paving and Interior Update

A new video is available below highlighting the paving of the new parking lot in front of the Family Life Center addition. Approximately 50 new spaces will be made available through this part of the project many of you are supporting through your Journey of Faith committments.

Checks are in the Mail

The checks are in the mail early. That's according to the IRS regarding the economic stimulus package rebate program that will provide cash for many of us.

Everybody seems to want a piece of that money. Many households need the funds to make ends meet and it truly will be a "God-send." Other households may not have as great of a need.

If you are in one of those households that doesn't necessarily need the cash, you may be considering some purchases for stuff you need, like: a computer, a TV, some furniture, a car, remodeling, etc.

If you are so moved by the Spirit, here are a list of things we need to put the finishing touches on the Family Life Center addition, which are not part of the project budget :

• Basketball goals.
• Initial sealing and waxing of the new building floor.
• Finishing the kitchen (cabinets, appliances, sinks, etc.)
• New church sign for the front of the property.

These are a few of the BIG things we still need resources to complete.

If you are in the fortunate position to have the resources to help, please pray about and strongly consider these items.

You know our church is a good investment....and the donation is tax deductible!

Thanks.

A View from the Cell Phone Camera....

The Building Committee toured the new Family Life Addition after it's meeting with the construction team on Thursday evening. Here are some cell-phone pictures below. The walls are no longer purple. Yea!!!! On Friday morning, weather permitting, the first layer of pavement will be laid in the new parking lot. Stay tuned! Exciting things are happening with the project.

Video Update: Purple walls?

Are those purple walls? Actually, yes. They are purple now, but not for long. Drywallers and painters are wrapping up their work over the next few weeks. Electricians and plumbers are also hard at work.

When you drive into the church this week, you'll also note that sidewalks along the front of both the old and new building are being poured. The new parking area in front of the facility has also been graded and is being prepared for final touches.
