NEXT CONSTRUCTION TEAM MEETING:	May 6, 7pm
SUBJECT:	preparing for NO CHANGE ORDERS

Like the details? construction drawings with electrical an plumbing are in the church office to see anytime.

Village Planning Commission and Village Board unanimously approved our plans! We are waiting for one more building permit and removal of the asbestos to begin construction. Watch for the orange fences! We will not move into the gym for worship until we remove the stage and build a second gym access door.

Next project of the Property Ministry: Outside Doors have been replaced! Our architect informs us the ivy on the west building will damage into the masonry so it is being removed before it begins growing this spring.
