A few items to update everyone on the Church Building project:
Thanks to everyone in the congregation and everyone who has supported the project for your patience through the summer months. Things have taken a bit longer than we expected, but that is par for the course on any significant building project. Things are starting to develop that will hopefully bring closure to the construction in the next several weeks.
Parking lot complete!: In August, our designers and construction team were finally able to resolve some soil issues that were preventing completion of the new parking area. With some extra elbow grease and creative engineering from our experts, the new parking lot was capped and finished a few weeks ago, providing nearly 50 new parking spaces.
Flooring Update: If you've been in the Family Life Center recently, you've notice those big green machines and fans. What is that all about? Those big green things are giant, industrial-sized de-humidifiers. They were brought in to draw excess moisture out of the concrete floor. (Yes, even though the concrete is hard, it is still curing...) The moisture level in the concrete has to be brought down to a certain level before the new flooring can be installed. Why? If the moisture level isn't at the right level, the warranty on the flooring will be voided. Hence, the delay. Fortunately, the moisture levels do seem to be coming down, which means that in the next few weeks, the flooring can be installed, completing this phase of the project.
Basketball Goals: At the August Church Board meeting, the board voted to purchase used basketball goals for the new addition. These goals will be installed this fall and will hang from the ceiling.
Again, thanks to everyone for your support of the project and your patience. So many have sacrificed their time and their resources to support this project and so many others have been bathing the project in prayer. Please continue to pray that we can wrap up things in the next month or so...
