What is your vision for the church library? What can we expect to see?
The vision is to stimulate God’s people to gain knowledge by using the resources provided in our library. I expect to see excitement, and those that hunger for more to take advantage of what has been made available to them.
How long do you think it’s been since the library was last used?
I could estimate that it has been well over 20 years since the library has been used.
Do you have an estimated time of completion that you can give us on when this will be done?
The hope is to unveil the updated library on July 12, 2009 to the entire church.
Is this a personal project that you’re doing, or will you need the assistance of the church to complete it?
I will definitely take advantage of the necessary assistance in getting the project completed.
What further and concise details can you give us about vacation bible school?
At this moment the curriculum is currently being constructed. There is currently one confirmed instructor, of which I’m delighted that when asked, gave no hesitation with accepting the task. V.B.S is scheduled to begin the 13th of July from 7:00pm – 9:00pm and end on the 18th of July which is a Saturday, 11:00am. The classes as of right now will be split into 3 groups… grade school to middle school, high school and the adult class. Our theme for this year will be Wisdom writings and Bible poetry. I look forward to having a successful session this year, and many more sessions in the future.
How, if at all, will this vacation bible school be different from those we’ve held in the past?
There is scheduled a mass review and celebration luncheon on this date. It is different than in times past, however I believe it will be an enjoyable event.
Will you need assistance/volunteers of any sort?
I’ll definitely need another volunteer to teach and am waiting for confirmation for the Chef who will prepare dinner in the evening.
I believe the big question that everyone wants to know is about how much longer do you think it will take before we reach breaking ground with this project?
Wow, uhm… We will hopefully break ground with this sometime in July, there is no definite date on this as of yet. A good businessman makes sure there is a cushion or reserve if you will of funds after such a large project is taken started. So we are just securing the cushion at this point.
As of now, do you have an estimate as to how much has been raised toward the parking lot?
What I can definitely say is some have given more than originally asked which has made up for those who just haven’t given @ all…
Approximately how much more do you think we will need to gather to attain the financial cushion we need to move forward?
A good cushion, would safely be the amount spent to get the job done.
What are the specifics of this project, what does the “paving” of the parking lot entail – the laying of pavement, lights, lines for parking spots, warranty?
The details are not readily accessible at this time; however I would be glad to visit this question again in the next issue of the newsletter.
Can you give us a glimpse into your overall vision for the functioning of the church - not pertaining to your assuming authority as Pastor in the future, but as far as these current projects are concerned?
The next few projects on the agenda would be adding an elevator to the building, replacing the windows and window frames, and making sure the building is maintained and kept in compliance with DC government regulations.
