Our church family gathered together on Tuesday evening to listen to an update from the Relocation Leadership Team regarding our architectural master plan. It was an exciting meeting as we:
- Recalled our history and how we embraced faith to move from G Avenue to our present location in 1982
- Reviewed our design values and our desire that our new facility be welcoming, comfortable, functional, expandable and flexible
- Listened to Tom Smith from CDH Partners present the master plan and phase 1 design
- Heard a presentation from John Maurice regarding the total project cost and funding
- Reviewed the timeline regarding the relocation project
- Dreamed of what God could do through a people who are totally devoted to Him and what part each of us can play
- Had a time of Q and A with the Relocation Leadership Team, Tom Smith, Steve Emerson (our owners rep), and representatives from Rinderknecht Associates
- Had time to review the drawings and ask further questions in the lobby after the meeting was over
It was quite an evening! What's the next step? Our relocation journey is all about God and His glory. We need to pray for direction and discernment. We need to continue to give faithfully to the Embracing Faith stewardship campaign, and pray about what God would have us give toward the second campaign in January 2008. And lastly, we need to continue be involved in prayer, care and share. Leading people into a growing, personal relationship with Jesus Christ is what we are all about.
We handed out a Faithful Endeavor Newsletter at the end of the meeting. You can read an online version by clicking here. Please be patient - it's a six page newsletter and it takes a while to download. You can also see a short slide show of the evening by clicking on the picture above.
Our new property has been purchased, our master plan has been designed and our Phase 1 drawings are prepared. We are ready to embark on the next step of our relocation journey!
