October 2006 - Message from Pastor Del
The huge laminated beams weighing 13,000 pounds each are hanging in the ceiling of our new sanctuary! They are beautiful and were hung by a skillful crane operator and several other workers. The walls are up and the brick layers are working hard. The fifth draw of our loan is being applied for, which places us over $800,000 in debt and that is half-way through the building project for expenses. We have had $30,000 in change orders and will have a few more. It is exciting to see all of this happening. Watch for the slide show of our construction in the narthex on Sunday mornings. Eighty percent of “The God’s Hope ~ Our Journey” money that was pledged has been given to date. An accounting of what has been spent was given at the Congregational Meeting on September 24.
One year from this coming Thanksgiving will complete the three year capitol campaign for this vision and we will need to begin planning for another campaign to help reduce our debt payments and possibly finish the basement. Yes, it is scary and challenging at the same time. Please continue to pray for Mr. Robert Saas our Architect, Mr. Tony Miller our Contractor, Mr. John Quade our Superintendent and all the other workers who are helping build our new sanctuary home.
