The office building parking lot continues to undergo renovations.
Handicap parking has been created, spaces have been striped, and
all of the curbing has been completed. The required landscaping
and irrigation will be finished in a few months as money becomes
available.
In our auditorium building, some temporary renovations were completed
in July to accommodate children's space for our 3s, 4s, and 5s classrooms.
The area has been brightened up a bit!
In addition, we added a “sleeping nursery” on the original
Preschool hallway for our infants that needed a quiet place to rest
during church.
The permanent renovations to our childrens' classrooms will begin
once we have the $250,000 in hand to complete the work.
January 3rd
REJOICE! Phase I of the construction process is complete. We moved
in to the offices in November, and the Youth Center and Antioch
Training School rooms have recently been finished. We love it and
visitors have commented about how nice it turned out!
Thank you so much for your involvement in this process. On Sunday,
January 2nd, now termed "Family Day" because of the family
happenings that we shared about during the service, we collected
enough money to pay the final $56,000 of building bills that we
owed. We also had enough money leftover to pay for the operating
expenses for the week. It was just what we needed!
Phase II of the project (parking lot renovations for our new building
& conversion of former offices into children’s classrooms)
will cost $300,000. The target "start-date" for this project
will be determined after additional funds are in hand.
