Formation of the GHOJ Follow-Up Ministry Team (GHOJMFT) is in full swing. This team is being lead by Larry Koppenhaver.If you are asked by one of the Follow-up Ministry Team Leaders to participate, please prayerfully consider sharing your richly given talents.
GHOJ Follow-up Ministry Team

For those of you that have pledged and/or have given to the God’s Hope~Our Journey Capital Building Appeal, thank you for you continued generosity. There is still plenty of opportunity to offer a pledge or simply designate a portion of your giving to ‘God’s Hope~Our Journey’ or ‘Building Fund’. Please remember that your offerings designated to Atonement’s existing and on going ministries are equally, if not more important. We are well on our way on this journey together.
Progress on our journey has already begun. Here are a few highlights that have occurred over the late few months:
Feb. 1, 2005 - Cathy Nicholson has officially begun working in the Church office, assisting Eileen Koppenhaver and Mary Lemke. She already is a valued addition to the office support staff.
March 2005 - Preliminary submittal of the initial plans have been submitted for review by the City of Lakewood. No major results or concerns to report at this time.
April 4th, 2005 - A.D. Miller has been selected as the General Contractor. The Building Committee made the tough decision selecting A.D. Miller from the top three contracting companies that were considered. A.D. Miller has constructed several Churches in the State of Colorado. The building committee members agree that A.D. Miller was a good fit for us and will be sensitive to the needs or our congregation.
Here are some of the upcoming activities that will soon begin:
May 2005 - Eidos Architects, LLC namely Scott Boduch and Bob Sass will continue working on the detailed design plans and begin working with focus groups to address the needs of the worship space, narthex, kitchen, classrooms and the columbarium.
- Activity has already begun to communicate with the people at the ELCA Mission Investment Fund and begin the loan application process to secure the necessary financing. As of this report, the mortgage interest rate is still holding at 5.25%.
October 2005 - Tentative Ground-Breaking. As with any forecasted dates, these dates are subject the change.
God’s Peace,
Mike Skaff
