Update on our Building...sheetrocking!

Our building was really making a lot of progress...before the snow, that is.  Keep your calendars open for lunch right after the second service on April 26.  We'll have free hot dogs and drinks at the building site and we'll be doing on-site tours that day.  Everyone is welcome. 

Here's a quick update:

• We were on schedule to have some sheetrock to start going on the first floor of the 2 story part this week, but my guess is that we're backed up a week now.  
• There are 3 layers of sheetrock installed in the Auditorium, the ceiling area is painted.
  
• The electrical wiring is done in the 2 story part.  They are currently running wires for the audio-visual stuff (monitors, phone lines, etc.)
• Doors and windows should be set within a week and the roof should be completely finished.
• They are still doing some of the brick work, but just eyeing it, it seems that it's about 70% complete.
• Our staff is working on the transition to the new building now very intensely.  It sounds simple: just pack up and move.  But in reality it's much more complicated than that.  There is much to consider, we're all very excited, and we want to get it right.  

Many folks will come to check us out when we move.  We'll get one shot at showing them we are a different kind of church.  We also want to be sure that we honor the people who've worked so hard to make it happen, the school system, the safety of our cars as they park and the kids as they come in.  We think the environment should welcome people regardless of who they are, etc. etc.  There is a lot to do.  We'll try to keep you updated.

Very exciting!!!
