Things are moving fast!!

It is so exciting to see the transformation. Each day something is added! We now have tile in all the bathrooms and foyer. The father of one of our members came to help us all the way from TX. We have learned that God gives the best when it comes to His house. This man does the tile for Sax Fifth Ave's! The ladies have almost completed the murals in the nurseries. The painting is done everywhere except the balcony. The carpet will be here the 2nd week in Dec. Keep praying for us!

The Gym has walls

Things are taking shape! Things are happening very fast now. Our men have wired the church for every technical device imaginable. We are going high-tech!

The drywallers finished the gym and are heading to the bathrooms and the nurseries. The painter for the gym ceiling will be here on Thurs (Sept. 25) After that the CBC men will get ready to paint, lay tile and do many many finishing touches! We are still praying our move in date is just before Christmas.

The Cement is Poured

We have a floor! It is exciting times for Community Baptist Church. There has been many things accomplished in the last several months, most of it hasn't been photo worthy. Here are a few shots of the day the cement was poured.

COME ON IN...THE BUILDING IS FINE!

Well, we had a set back with the roof the erectors installed. Let’s just say it was ALL WRONG. The steel roof had sags, sweeps and scratches…not to mention just outright bad workmanship. Thank the Lord for giving us a “prayed up” and knowledgeable building team, that caught the problem and took immediate action with our engineering company. The entire roof was removed and reinstalled with careful supervision. There is no cost to the church, but we will be about 6 weeks behind. In the scope of things 6 weeks is nothing compared to a lifetime free of leaks and rust!
The siding and windows are being installed. You can actually come inside and feel the size and envision the classrooms, gym, bathrooms (yea ladies!) and auditorium. The site work engineer has grated and leveled the road leading to our Education wing. The carport will be a blessing to our Mom’s with small children as they can drop them off and stay dry. Things are moving. We pray they will continue with no major set-backs.

A Brief Pause

For those of you who check our blog regularly, we are sorry for the delay in progress. Our town put a temporary stop to the building progress. Our engineers submitted the steel plans for approvals late. The city stopped the progress (even though the building was half way up) until they could further review the plans. Our engineers guarantee that this pause will NOT change our move in date. They will work overtime if needed to stay on schedule. So after 2 weeks, the building is moving once again. The roof is scheduled for this Monday. Pray for no more delay!

A Prayer For The Workers

The other night Pastor made his way to the property for a time of enjoying the days progress and to have time alone thanking God for this wonderful work. His thoughts seemed to stay upon the workers that show up here everyday. His burden increased as to how we could ever have time to talk to them about the Lord. Here is the prayer he wrote on the outside entrance of what will soon be the main church doors.
