Finishing touches are being completed as we prepare for carpet delivery on Friday. There are some small cleaning tasks to be accomplished before then. Bob Walton is heading up the installation of the carpet. Thanks, Bob!
New wiring and sound equipment is to arrive Thursday afternoon and will need to be quickly installed so we can close up the platform.
The old HVAC units were lifted out by a crane and the new units were brought in by the same crane on Tuesdaymorning. There are pictures of the whole process in the “Restoration” photo album. Lee Zweigle is heading up the installation process for us. We are very grateful for his help!
The floors were thoroughly scrubbed and now shine again thanks to several individuals who ran a cleaning machine for many hours on Tuesday.
We are still planning the delivery of our cabinets and appliances for Monday, October 28th. We will likely be given a four-hour delivery window, and we will need help getting all of these units unloaded and transported into the building.
Answered prayer! Our gas meter was restored on Wednesday! We lit the pilot lights, and we can again enjoy hot water in the bathrooms and heat in the offices, foyer, bathrooms and nursery. 🙂 Hooray! 🙂
As many of us drove to AWANA at Campion Academy last night, we were surprised to see so many cars at our church building as we drove past. Volunteers were again working hard at removing the muck and rock from the landscaping on the east side of our parking lot. What a blessing! We are so grateful for the long, hard work that they are doing for us!!!
Colton’s Eagle Scout project was approved, so he will be leading a group of Boy Scouts in restoring our landscape islands and even making some landscaping improvements at the front of our building.
What a great God we have to send these many extra hands to help us restore our building and grounds!!! “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights.” (James 1:17)
We are hoping that this coming Sunday, October 27th, will be our final Sunday for meeting at the Campion facility. We are very grateful to the Seventh Day Adventist staff who called and offered us a meeting place after they heard of our damage! They have been extremely gracious in allowing us to meet there forSunday mornings and to even hold our AWANA ministry there on Wednesday evenings. We are hoping to meet once more for AWANA at the Campion facility on October 30th.
41 days ago our building was inundated with about 2 feet of water. How we have seen the Lord work and provide in amazing ways in those few weeks! We are so grateful for all that the Lord has done!!! Praise to His Name!
