You Gotta Have It

Some parts of a building project are exciting- watching walls go up, seeing spaces defined, choosing colors, etc. Other phases are essential- but not much to look at. That's the kind of work that took place this past week as the renovations of our future space moved onward.

POWER
The electrical work continued and we passed our first electrical inspection. With the new ramps poured last week, the workers were able to bring in a lift to start working on the second story wiring.


SAFETY
We're making changes to the building to ensure that our new space is safe for everyone. To that end we're installing fire suppression sprinklers and a new fire alarm. Progress was made on both of these items this week. Here are a couple of shots of some excavation that is happening to bring water pipes into the building to feed the sprinklers.

Digging up the parking lot and sidewalk.

The old men's locker room is being re-purposed to serve as the sprinkler riser room. New exterior doors will provide access to this area.

PRAY
As of today the project is still slightly ahead of schedule. If you're willing, please join us in praying for this work and the space. Here are some things you might ask God for:

• That we’ll stay on schedule.
• That our workers will stay safe.
• That we’ll have a smooth inspection process.
• That we'll have the finances needed to finish and use the new space in ways that help people and honor God.
  
• That God will prepare us for all of the new opportunities this space will give us to love and serve people.
• That God will be preparing new folks who will get involved with our faith community after we move to this space.
