Since the completion of the landscaping out front and the widening of the hallway we have continued to move forward with improvements around the church. Last week the elders approved moving forward with the next phases of making our facilities better suited for ministry. The first part of this, for which the funds are in the bank, is the rearranging of the nurseries and the preschool into a logical progression down the hall while making each room larger and more useable. Along with this will be the recarpeting of the building on the classroom side of the lobby double doors. This does not include the offices, at least at this time.
In order to accomplish this we will first move the library out the the building formerly known as Java Joe's. It will be complete with an awning stating to all what the contents of the room are all about - library.
In addition, the ducting under the church is being replaced and the rear of the property is being tied into the new meter for city supplied irrigaiton water and sprinklers are also being installed. No more fuzzy brown and green concrete during the summer. Hooray!!
Also approved, but not yet ready to move forward on are the remodeling and upgrading of our kitchen and the expansion of the lobby. We have estimates on both with the kitchen at about $40,000 and the lobby at $80,000. While the building committee has made some preliminary drawings of what the kitchen might look like, nothing is final and no formal committee has been formed to settle on its final configuration.
All of this was presented at the annual business meeting yesterday, April 19th.
Not wasting any time, as I pulled into the church this morning All American City Landscaping was busy at work on the irrigation.
