May 23-29 Update

Report from the week

This has been an exciting week! The lease was signed on Thursday and an architect has been chosen for the necessary design and permits. Our architect will shepherd the project through the sometimes precarious permitting process and will also consult with a structural engineer to assist us with the planning for the second floor.


What’s Ahead

Our architect has told us that we can expect it to take about 3 weeks to receive plans for the project. Once the plans are in hand we will then be able to secure the building permits. While all of this is taking place we will be lining up the necessary subcontractors and working on a construction schedule. Please be praying that God will lead us to contractors and suppliers who will be fair and may even be inclined to donate some items or labor. If you have any contacts with suppliers please pass along that information to Pastor. Also if you have friends or family who would like to make a financial donation to the project we will be happy to issue them a charitable giving receipt.


PRAISE!

· God provided us with an architect that we are very comfortable with and we believe will do a great job.


What we are asking God to do

· Wisdom for Pastor and the leadership team (Staff, Deacons, and our Project Manager, Ron Holbrook)
· Approval of plans & issuing permits so work can begin
· Pray for our architect and for Pastor Kicher as they work together on the plans. This is a monumental job and will consume a lot of time over the next few weeks.
· Provision of funds so work can continue in a timely manner
· Provision of materials and furnishings
