In two weeks we are inviting the church family to join us in the Fellowship Hall at 9:45-10:45 for a called church family meeting. It hardly seems like it was two years ago when we completed the total renovation of the Worship Center/Sanctuary. It was fabulous and the Lord provided all we needed to make it happen. To God be the glory.
Now it is time to address a list of needs for the rest of our church campus. About 6 months ago we developed some leaks in the porch over the front doors of the Worship Center. We patched them knowing sooner or later we were going to have to replace all the shingles on all of the buildings. We have developed dozens of leaks in the main roof over the Worship Center. We have, thank you Jesus, gotten all the wear and tear we could expect out of our current roof. It was replaced after Hugo in 1989.
Once we started looking at the roofing needs, we put together a list of renovations, repairs and replacements needed around our church buildings. Things that we have patched and repaired but now need to be replaced. So, on Sunday, September 3 we will present to our church family the scope and projected cost of this phase of our renovations. We will have for you a printed brochure highlighting the scope and projected cost. Then we will ask the church family to vote together on proceeding with these necessary and exciting renovations.
This project comes to our church family with the unanimous recommendations from the following group: Church Pastors, Staff, Elders, Finance Team, Ministry Management Team and Deacons. Some of these renovations and repairs are absolutely necessary. Replacing the church roof is an item that cannot wait. That will need to begin right away. Other items are much needed and have been a long time coming. Just like our homes, every now and again, we have to invest in the investment. I really believe you will be pleased to hear the particulars of these renovations. I hope you will see them as an extension of our vision, values and mission. I trust they will have your full commitment and support.
To God be the glory,
Pastor Tom
