News from the Building CommitteeSo much progress has been made in the last few weeks, it is mind spinning! Warren Construction is working feverishly to have our classroom space and new offices complete by the middle of September, officially concluding Phase One of our Building Project. As of this writing, the painters have applied a first coat of paint to all of the spaces and they will soon begin the final coat. The electricians have begun installing the light fixtures, and the contractors have installed the cabinetry in each of the classrooms and in the main office. The flooring is due to be installed the last week of August and the new bathrooms on the second floor soon will be operational. Outside, the lawn has been seeded and we are anxiously awaiting the first sprouts of green grass. Out back on Storer Street, we have already begun to appreciate the convenience of the new parking spots. The new front entrance is looking beautiful, as the contractor completes the final details to the doors and floors. We hope you agree that the new entrance and the star window above makes for a curb appeal that takes your breath away. Kent, Carra, Carole, and Claire have already begun to pack up again in anticipation for their move into the new offices. Once they "evacuate", Warren Construction will begin Phase Two, which will include renovations to Fellowship Hall, the kitchen, and the basement level. Fellowship Hall will be closed off, as it will be an official construction site, which means we will gather for fellowship after Sunday worship outside when weather permits. It is important that we all continue to be flexible and accommodating during the next phase of construction. There are still so many important decisions that are made on a daily basis. The building committee continues to ask for your support and prayers as we push forward to complete our "Church for all Generations." The Building Committee Rev.
