The latest, from Building Committee Chairman Mike Klebs:
• Plumbing inspection and fire sprinkler inspection have been completed.
• We're waiting on electrical re-inspection and duct inspection. These should pose no problems, Lord willing, so we're planning to sheet-rock the ceiling starting next Tuesday.
• If there's enough help with the ceiling work on Tuesday and we get the framing inspection, we'll sheetrock the walls on Wednesday and be ready for tape and texture by the weekend. (All of this assumes, of course, that there are no inspection setbacks.)
• Excavation work is being arranged, but should start next week.
• Bids on fencing of play area are expected soon, so that should be completed by the start of school (Aug. 20).
From Pastor O:
The good Lord has blessed this project with so many eager and able volunteers -- we give thanks to God and to them all! I had Colleen drive me over to church on Tuesday so I could see how it's progressing, and I was thrilled to see the four boys digging around the well-head outside (good work, Noah, Bennett, Joshua and Andrew!), and just as thrilled to hear the sound of hammers, saws and nail-guns, wielded by at least a dozen men and women laborers.
It's exciting to see so many pitching in to make our preschool ministry a reality. Above all, let's remember exactly why we're doing this -- it's to Let the Children Come -- come to learn about their Savior, Shepherd and Friend, Jesus! It's to bring the saving truth of God's Word to more hearts and more homes. Please keep praying for this great effort.
Finally, Mike also notes, as he extends special thanks to the many who showed up for work this week, that he is "continually amazed and thankful for the men and women who are dedicating many evenings to get the project completed."
Amen to that!
