September 27th we closed on our new building property. It is a 25,000 square foot building on 1.5 acres. We had Sunday service in it on October 21st. It was absolutely wonderful! Monday and Tuesday, October 29 and 30, we demolished the partition walls and took three and one half dump trailer loads of sheet rock to the dump.
We are working on engineering plans at this time and look forward to their completion. Our goal is to get a set of plans before Thanksgiving and have permits for work to start on December 1st.
Huge thanks go to Tim Willard, Louis and Pat Todd, Pastor John, Stephanie Scheperle, Mike Holden and Jeff Kohler who worked an entire day on the demolition and clean up Tuesday. Several others worked in the late afternoon and really helped some tired people with the cleaning.
Keep praying. We are moving forward.
