Attention has now moved down towards the floors...that's the update on where the CFA rebuild is at the moment!

Last Wednesday we worked hard on figuring out the cabinets and appliances for our church kitchen and also nursery areas. Excited at what the Lord led us to order...great deals!

Then on Friday it was a chance for me to work up at Conseco Fieldhouse for the State High School Wrestling Championships. It was a long night but it gave me the opportunity to raise some money for my son's fair share in the marching band. Remember last summer...it was many nights at Victory Field during Indian's games. This past weekend I sold everything from chicken tenders to hot dogs to hamburgers to onion rings to popcorn to...you name it, we sold it.

Saturday I took some valuable time to spend it with my lovely wife. Great time with a great woman. What an incredible lady God has blessed me with!! We laughed, we toured open houses, we dodged snow flakes and we did some shopping!

Sunday was our 100% Day! It is a day set aside for everyone to give God our best in worship, attendance and giving. Special guest David Delp challenged us to seek the righteousness of God. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled! It was an awesome service with people pressing in to God for more...

Monday was an extremely busy day in the office. I was pulled in all directions that day...lots of rebuild items on the agenda.

Tuesday was staff meeting and preparations for our Adult Bible Study & Prayer Meeting. We started a new study in the Book of John. Good group last night!

Today was a chance to attend one of our prayer breakfasts that is led by Ron & Sandy Horton. Nineteen people jammed into the tables at Denny's. Always a great time to gather with our people and call upon the name of the Lord.

Right now attention in the rebuild is focused on the flooring. Late last week work began on our epoxy floor surfacing and painting. The concrete floors were prepped and filled with epoxy in the cracks and crevices. Then a coat of paint. Next another coat of paint with plastic colored chips sprinkled in. The last coat is a clear coat to top it all off. Basement floors are looking 1000% better than we found them after the Flood of '08!!

Next, work will begin upstairs in the rooms that get VCT tiling. Workers should have that wrapped up in the next day or two. Also, one room in the toddler area will get some carpeting but the rest will have to wait until the bulk of the carpet arrives in Indy the 2nd week of March.

Painters have been painting and some other work has been completed by our contractors. Little by little...we get closer to one of our goals: Reclaiming our spacious regional worship center for the glory of God!
