Week Eight

I am amazed each day at what gets done!! Things are really flying now! Paint is now being applied to the walls, and light fixtures are being installed. The bathrooms have been given a fresh look and so much more. Irwin and Irwin Painting has done an excellent job of prepping and painting the walls. Massey Electric has done a great job of installing a ton of fixtures and lights. A huge thank you to Brad and Billy Denny for their donated time to this bathroom tiling job. It looks so awesome. New members to our church, William and Carol Batson, have given new urinals and sinks and faucets to round out the new look in the bathrooms. God has provided so much through each of these folks who give because they Love God and their church. Thank you so much! Please consider what you can give in an extra way to finish this project. Love and blessing to you all!

Children’s Consecration of Their New Rooms

On this past Sunday, July 26, each of the children's Sunday School classes got to go to what will be their new rooms where they wrote Scripture on the floor and prayed. This was such a blessing for me to see them with Bibles and such writing the eternal Word of God on the floor. What made this so moving was knowing that when they are older and come back to this place as a college student or young adult, they will know that the verse they wrote and prayed over is still on the floor where they wrote it!

The children were so excited to see the rooms and all that is being done in this area. The desire of my heart is for this to be an awesome testimony to the goodness and grace of God. Enjoy the pictures of these precious children as they consecrated early on the space that will soon be dedicated.

Plan to attend the Dedication Service and Open house on Sunday August 9. The Dedication will be during both morning services and the Open House will be from 2:00 until 4:00 that afternoon. Please continue to give, as this project is not fully funded yet. I am praying God will be honored by our being able to say it is completely paid for at the completion. To God be the Glory!

Week Seven

We are on the fast track now! Not only have the walls been finished, they are now being prepped to be painted this coming week. The painting contract has been awarded to Irwin Painting. It is truly beginning to look more like what I had envisioned. Sandy Felts has been very busy finishing the final choices of paint colors and fixtures and such. She is on the Renovation Committee and has been a true asset to this project. The children in Sunday School will be going up stairs on Sunday to the room they will soon occupy and write verses of scripture on the floor in their new room! Carpeting will begin on Monday, August 3. We are so very close to paying for this project by its completion date -- have you given your gift today?

Week Six

Wow, things are now finally moving a little faster as we head toward our finish date!! This week all of the HVAC and electrical has been installed!! Thank you to our subcontractors Haskins Heating & Cooling and Massey Electric for their fine work! You have been a huge blessing to this project and your church! Drywall is now in the process of being installed! All of the insulation is back in the ceiling and all of the framing has been insulated. The ceilings are now being done with the walls next. By the time of this posting they have not yet completed all of the drywall, but the goal is to have it all done by Friday, July 17. All of the furnishings and cabinets have been ordered. The new decorative lights and such have been purchased, and our carpet is now in. God has been so gracious to this project! Thank you for your continued support. If you have not given your gift yet, please pray and ask God what He would have you give. Remember that no gift is too small. Check back next week for more updates!
