July 2005 - GHOJ Update
Project Update:
June 1, 2005
- Eidos Architects, reviewed design updates, lighting concepts, ceiling layout, seating layouts with Building committee.
- Filled positions for staffing goals for 2005
- Beverly Karika, RN, BSN and Ruth Zartman, RN, BSN are sharing the position of Parish Nurse.
- Julie McNitt began serving as the Youth Ministry Coordinator.
- Date of Commissioning Service to be determined
Miracles are happening! We received the first “red line” approval on June 29 – these are changes suggested by the city. Edios architects Bob Saas and Scott Burdock are examining them. They appear to be minor changes. We will proceed as quickly as possible. The Building Ministry Team will meet August 1, 7:00 PM at which time we expect we will have the final bid from A.D. Miller for the entire project. When that figure is submitted we will be able to complete the application form for our construction loan and future building loan. We will also have a better picture of how much of the design plan we will be able to complete. The unfinished basement is on the schedule. The Mission Loan Investment Fund of the ELCA is being very helpful to us in this process. We will also give Thrivent an opportunity as they are the ones who currently have our loan. We may be able to project a ground breaking date by mid August and plan a congregational meeting to approve plans. Sounds exciting!
Pledged monies for God’s Hope ~ Our Journey have been coming in on schedule and you are to be congratulated. New pledges and offerings are always welcome. Also, please remember to send in your offerings for the General Ministry (our ongoing budget needs) as the past several Sunday’s offerings have been lower than usual. Envelopes are included in this newsletter for your convenience in sharing your offering gifts. Thanks for helping make the Mission of Atonement’s work a priority.
