Construction Has Begun!
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN NEWS!
As you can see from the photo above, we have begun our parking lot and landscaping project! After many months of waiting for our permit to be approved, we are now able to move forward with the entire project, which is the largest one of our capital campaign.
In the meantime, we are open for business! There will likely be at least a few days when the church parking lot and buildings will be inaccessible; and we will let everyone know when that will be. We are working with the contractor on a schedule and hopefully we will be able to have church on every Sunday except June 5, when we will celebrate the 1-year anniversary of our capital campaign at the parsonage. Unless you hear otherwise, all other activities and meetings will take place as scheduled.
Here are some requests for the upcoming weeks while construction is taking place:
- Please do not cross the yellow tape or approach any construction equipment or items.
- Be especially mindful of children who are curious and may wander into a construction area.
- Although there should be plenty of parking for worship services, meetings and activities, we may need more cars to park on the side and back of Moore Hall.
We are simultaneously fixing the roof, installing a more efficient gutter system and installing our new photovoltaic system (so that most of our electricity will be provided by the sun!).
