Since my last post, schools have let out a total of four days, plus about 2 or 3 more days of 2-hour time delays. Winter weather has sure had an impact on our kids education. But, I don't think they minded one bit...ahhhh, I remember the days way back when too!
Great weekend @ CFA! I continued preaching on the resurgence of the Spirit...one of our theme goals for this year. We shared a fellowship time for our people in the evening during the Big Game. The Cardinals came so close to a Super Bowl Championship...but lost it in the final seconds!
Most of the church basement now has two coats of paint on the walls. It looks 100% better than before...following the flood they looked horrific! We have injected lots of color into the basement design schemes. Before the flood, most walls were a pale white. Now, there is lots of great color tones running throughout the entire space. Everyone will be pleased with all the improvements for this entire flood rebuild project!
The next stage has been installing the drop ceilings throughout the areas of our spacious regional worship center. This has been another intriguing dimension on how installers do their work. I've included some pics for you to see the workers working. First, their stilts to walk around off the ground about 2 to 3 feet. Second, is the ingenious invention of a rotating laser beam machine that lines up the outer perimeter grid for the ceiling tiles and also lights. Lastly, is the long drill gun they use to install the metal lines to hold the ceiling grid in place. I found it a rather fascinating process!
Drywallers have finished up the basement bathrooms, fellowship hall bathrooms, as well as the kitchen and nursery spaces. These areas will also get several fresh coats of paint on them too!
One of our men and his son has taken it upon themselves to run hundreds of feet of network cable to bring internet capabilities and office computer connection to the other parts of our worship center. A computer company will then hook it all up and provide progressive communication advancement for our church ministry teams. Thanks Ted and Hayden!
We continue to anxiously await returning to our worship center facilities and put all of this ministry space to good use. We have now been worshipping at our borrowed church for almost 8 months now...hard to believe! You can imagine how MBC is feeling...they probably are ready for us to leave too! But they have been so kind and gracious to us. Thanks MBC!
Keep the faith! Keep looking ahead! Keep your eyes on the prize!
We are ready for the BIG REBOUND IN '09!
Love to all.
