| October 6, 2007 - In the Building !! Praise God! We were given a Temp Certificate of Occupancy, and were able to have services the last weekend of September. It was awesome and we had 50% greater attendance then prior weekends. We had lots and lots of greeters and made a significant impression on those attending. We are a friendly church, and we want our services to reflect that! We had 2 weeks to finish off the major work to be done on the church to qualify for the permanent Certificate of Occupancy. So, next week we hope to be mostly complete with the work and make a great showing for our Grand Opening. There will continue to be a few things that we are finishing off in the month of October before the construction crews complete the job. If you know Walter Renna, our contractor, let him know how great a job he did on the building. Obviously his crews had lots of help from our volunteers. The building turned out fantastic. Allen will be mentioning that we are addressing sound and lighting issues, and trying to determine the best solution, as well as obtain the funds to make these very important improvements. We had no way of knowing what would be required until we moved in and tried it out. Now we know and we want to make the improvements that are needed as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience. Please collect as many invitation postcards as you will pass out and make a walk this week around the neighborhood or around the workplace inviting everyone you can to the Grand Opening. Let's make it truly grand. If your friends and family are wired, then send them an electronic invite via email (click here). |
