March 2007: The Sanctuary is taking shape!
The painting is done and carpet is laid. The fire alarm is in place and the sound system will soon be installed. The shingles are on the roof and final touches are being done. The new fire alarm system was merged into the old one. All the electrical panels in the old building are hot and the new transformer is operating. That alone is a meracle! We have been without power several times in that transition. We just need warm weather and no snow to thaw out the ground so that the parking lot and entry can be completed! There are six to eight weeks of parking lot work to be done when they finally get to it. They have been digging dirt out to thaw it and putting it back with warmer material. It isn't funny, but it is snowing again. That only sets us back further. Please be patient! We will get there! Lent is here and spring is the process of bringing us new llife! We will dedicate this new sanctuary sometime, but that date is unknown at this writing. There indeed will be a Resurrection!Pray that we will all be patient and compassionate as we navigate through all these times and pray that the excitement will grow among us as we get ready to celebrate Easter and the new life our Lord by grace continues to give to us.
